That's why i don't join neither banana, and sometimes go to msghelp or keep at forums and MSN all day long.
What, you're afraid of arguments? That's ridiculous.

As Time said, you're trying to turn IRC into something it is not. IRC is about free speech. If you act like a lamer, you will be treated like one. If you can't look after yourself and stand your ground, you're going to have problems.
I'm not disputing that, what I am saying though, is that #banana is accessed by a lot of people who would otherwise not go on IRC, they have no idea what IRC culture is like, and if they see a moderator making fun of them, it is not going to set a good impression.
I'm not trying to kerb the fun that can be had in IRC, but if you are going to flame people and stuff (which is no bad thing), do it from a non-op account.
