Well, define the channel. I always look at it as a place where the members of the 68kMLA can get together for a bit of fun, and a bit of support. We talk about everything, basically. On the other hand, some people think it should be "ALL MAC, NOTHING ELSE!".
The shortfall is that we only talk about Macs half the time anyway. We've tried to keep it all Mac, and the channel has ended up in hours of silence.
The problem compounds because the users have conflicting opinions on what the channel should be about, and what it should be used for, and try to act like a dictator by taking it upon themselves to flame out and drive away those who don't comply to their belief in the channel.
So we can dictate everything said in the channel, make it nothing but Mac support and Mac support only, but you're only asking for hell. Sometimes the folk here, who have come to know each other in a digital form, just want a place to talk about a few different things, voice a few opinions, have a little fun. If you want to take that away from us, by all means do so. We'll just have to find another way around it.
