No, Really?

: YEAH! Really nice! I like it!
: There are ppl who discovered IRC a week ago CRY IN CAPS and tell damn
: bullshit as if they know what they are talking about!

You imbecile, assuming you are talking about me, if you had checked w/ Nickserv,
my nick has been registered since the beginning of January..WOW! What a long
week...Makes you wonder if an OP on Nickserv is anymore competent then us 
"US OPS that have EGO problems"
 
: And they all cry "IRC is an anarchy", "IRC is only for FUN", "IRC has no
: rules".
: You really don't know anything!

Oh do I not know anything? Where is there a handbook or IRC rules? Where
does it say that IRC is to be taken with the seriousness of an exam? Why
do they then call it the Internet Relay Chat? Or did you not know this?
Correct me if I am wrong, but one chats to another out of their leisure..
I refer to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, "Chat 1: Idle small talk.
2: Light familar talk ESP: Conversation." Maybe you should take your own 
verbal garbage into personal consideration..Indeed, your rubbish is just a 
mere representation of your lack of intelligence
 
: There are a lot of Admins (mostly in Europe), who DON'T /kill for fun,
: who have set up rules, who do not abuse their "powers" and who have
: IRC users that do not (and have not to) complain about their Ops and Admins!

Good for them. Where are these rules? Have you ever thought that compiling
these rules and a simple posting of them would be useful? If you want to whine
and gripe about the behaviour of an IRCpeonOP or an IRCADMIN,  there are
higher forms of stopping them..Or do you not know of any?
 
: And there is a small amount of users that don't use IRC for FUN and
: chatting, but for information exchange, consulting and coordination!
: But this may be beyond the imaginary powers of some of you!

True, but this is not the MAIN purpose of IRC. If I am not mistaken, the 
main purpose of IRC was to enhance on the general idea of the TALK command
(I infer this from various sources and readings) SO that numerous people
could "Chat." I refer you to my earlier definition of CHAT 
 
: Maybe this is all, cause the biggest contingent of IRC Servers are in the US.
: And most of them are only set up for EGO reasons and we could shut down
: 80% of them and remove 95% of the Ops there!

EGO reasons? My friend (not), it appears you have quite a bit to learn 
yourself. Have you ever heard of trying to improve the current standard? Of
course, adding another server to the net will lag it down..No argument about 
that..But there is also a wish for many people for their own school to have
a server..to  help out other IRCusers..With the convenience of having 
their own server (Though it may not be a convenience in most cases). I know
that these wishes, in the long run, are damaging to the net..But sometimes
people like to improve their current standing to try and benefit the people 
immediately around them. I  do not see this as an egotistical reason. I
do not see how ANYONE can see this as an egotistical reason..And the fact 
that YOU see it as an egostistcal reason suggests something of your current
mindset...In most cases, servers that were given links or IRCpeonOPS that
were given O-lines with EGO problems have been taken away..Or are in the 
process of. Egotistical people are not liked on the net...Maybe you are not
aware of this, but actions are taken to make sure they are properly handled.

: And maybe it's because most of them think US is the best and US rules the
: world and they do not recognize that there are other, which find their
: behaviour boring (in the best case) or annoying (in the standard case)!
: But maybe it's only because most of them are a little insane and have
: psychic problems!

Well, okay, fine, be that way. But a few decades ago, a certain country 
thought that it could outsmart the world with it most bogus Von Schleffon 
Plan (sp?) Have you ever heard of that? I, nor, anyone I know in the US
has made such a prejudiced remark...Maybe you fell off the wrong side of the
bed and hit your head on a sharp object...Insanity is the inability to reason..
Your past remarks have been more than adequately unreasonable..People are 
labeled as having psychic problems if they think about killing their parents,
incest, thinking that aliens will invade Earth, that they can take over
a WHOLE continent, or thinking that whole societies or sections of a certain
society have one diagnosis..I don't know any people w/ these problems, but
I can think of one person right now...
 
: Think of it and consult your psychiater!

Like I said before, follow your own advice..they maybe able to correct you
If diagnosed early enough...
 
: *FLAME OFF*

You bet it is...
Have a nice day..
