Oh yeah.. it is so completely a "black & white" ... "issue?" :roll:
I'm not looking for a black and white solution. Two Rabbi's - three opinions...

The current solution, however, is very black, which is the point I've been trying to make from before my ban.

Were you banned from the server? :shock:
Ouch.
True, Dms are touchy, always been. I suppose you feel they are overreacting to everything. They are. But they are reacting to complaints from players like you or me that complain that the shout and chat channel are flooded. Whats a DM to do except act? They cant really sit down at the table on IRC because not everyone is there.

Most adults have learned the skill of ignoring children....

Leaf seems to do this fairly well, actually.

What do you mean by "ignoring children"?
People will ignore sometimes an annoyance. But elaborate on what you said. :?

Ah, that make sense. So MrBrklyn is holding a grudge against you? And using his kids to strike back?
Ouch. Poor kids.

No

No - Its a response to the thread. When you get too many complaints and whining, you simply learn to rise up and ignor it.

Aside which, my kids aren't on my local servers. Their in Milwaukee. I also run about 6 class C level networks. I doubt I can be really prevented from entering by IP address if I chose to gain access.
