Was it so hard to invite the people you wanted the behaviour to change into a private channel and just talk to them there?

Well, I would.

But apparently Jim has tried talking to the channel publicly, to no effect.

I'm sorry, but this is what a killswitch is.

No, a killswitch is "we're closing the channel" and literally banning everyone.

Here's the thing ...

Unlike you and me, Jim isn't a "hardcore" IRC user and he only joined #codeigniter because it was an official support channel for the framework. He he takes his PM role very seriously, and as he would no longer be involved in the IRC channel - it's a logical step to invite people somewhere he will be engaged, and feels is a better place.

I don't necessarily agree with this, but it is a completely sane position. If you feel that's over-reacting - that's fine, you're entitled to that opinion, but I'd say you're doing the same thing.

Indian is not a race, its a nationality.

I completely agree with this, although with no context taking either side of this argument is a waste of time.
