on the subject of #banana. I think many have forgotten the reason why #banana was 'split' from the official Plus! channels in the first place. Guess what... it was the result of the exact same reasons why people make these rant threads. And as a 'solution' #banana was declared 'non-Plus! related' (as if that solved the underlying problems.... apparently not).

Now, on the break (official MsgPlus IRC channels) you and your friends are talking crap about the teacher, but no teacher is there so nothing happens to you - but if a teacher came or someone would tell about it to a teacher you would be again taken to the principals office because you were in school.
Finally, after school somewhere else (unofficial IRC channels), you and your friends are of course talking about the teacher. Suddenly, the teacher walks in and hears everything. But because it's not in school he can't enforce the school rules and nothing would happen to you, except your relation to the teacher would become worse. So, stuff you do outside school would carry over to school, but the consequences wouldn't be the same.
Your example unfortunatly shows two things:
1) it is very hypocritical of those students
2) you tell exactly what people always have said in these rant threads: even if something negativly is done on #banana it has consequences on other (official) media/channels as well. It is the whole package: aka community. It is not because #banana is not 'official' anymore, that people all of a sudden can act like asses and talk behind other people's backs.
I'm not saying everybody on #banana does it, but it is part of the big issue: the attitude of the people in _general_. Thank god there are still people amung them too who don't act like ignorant brats thinking it is cool to be an ass.
