ubottuscott_ino called the ops in #ubuntu (Geert_Wilders)01:31
h00kAmaranth: that works, too01:32
Seeker`that shoulda been a ban01:32
Seeker`/lastlog shows a troll01:32
AmaranthYeah, obvious troll01:33
AmaranthDon't want to waste a ban if he doesn't come back right away though01:33
marienzthat was weird. FWIW: "Geert Wilders" is the name of a somewhat controversial dutch politician.01:40
wizzohi I was just wondering why there's no #ubuntu-men04:36
tonyyarussowizzo: There was at one point at least.  I don't think it ever had more than about three people in it though.04:41
wizzotonyyarusso: if we get more users can we have the channel running then?04:41
wizzoI think that there's a pretty big cross section of people who use ubuntu and people who are men04:42
wizzowe could have something here04:42
tonyyarussowizzo: If you'd like, you could create an ##ubuntu-men (with two # marks) first, see how it goes, and if it seems worthwhile and gets a community behind it while following the Ubuntu IRC Guidelines, then we could transition such a thing into the namespace, yeah.04:42
wizzowell that makes sense04:43
wizzoalright thanks for your help04:43

wizzocool04:44
nhandlertonyyarusso: I didn't think #ubuntu-men was ever used for any legit purpose and was just some troll response to #ubuntu-women (hence it being closed now). I could be way off on this though05:09
tonyyarussonhandler: I think I saw it used reasonably maybe once or twice.  Either way, if it has new management / leadership I don't think the past really matters all that much, and properly starting it outside of our namespace rather than just creating it within might be a nice trial I thought.05:12
tonyyarussoMostly it was a troll thing, but not 100%, since people joined who weren't part of the initial setup.05:12
persiaI'm not sure it's fair to call creation of -men groups in response to -women groups trollish.  I suspect there's a fair number of men who want somewhere to be special when there is prohibition of sexism in common areas, and women are special in -women.05:13
persiaNot saying Ubuntu needs such a group, but I've seen any number of them created over the past couple of decades.05:13
persiaAnd I believe they tend to improve the sense of equality and lack of sexism in common channels.05:14
nhandlerpersia: I wish their intentions were that noble ;)05:14
persiaYeah, well, I can't talk about specifics: just wanted to make sure it wasn't a blanket reflex response to the creation of mens groups.05:14
mneptoknhandler: i think it's unfair for you to assume you know every person's intentions05:15
elkyI'm cautious by default of a group which is inspired by the horrid situation we find ourselves in where only 95% of the community is male.05:15
nhandlerpersia: Nope. I have no issue trialing this (especially outside of our namespace). I just want to make sure that there is an actual and legit purpose behind the channel (which will depend on the founder)05:15
persianhandler, Makes sense.05:15
nhandlermneptok: I would never assume such a thing05:15
mneptokelky: it's horrid if it is planned or expected. the demographics of Ubuntu usership are neither.05:16
persiaelky, I completely understand your caution: that said, I've seen some groups (especially related to non-technical non-profit communities) where the simple creation of a mens group that sends the "it's OK to be a man, but don't assume everyone is, except here" message helps the general situation.05:16
elkypersia, I might agree if it were not for the whole 95% part.05:18
* persia is also not advocating #ubuntu-men, just wanting to make sure it's not reflex-dead, from a belief that a well-managed one ends up having similar goals and utility to -women05:18
elkyAnd the assumption that to "be a man" one must be as opposite to "a woman" as possible.05:18
* persia goes off-channel to have an interesting debate about the 95% part05:18

tonyyarussoIf you knew what you were doing, why would you need the factoid?07:22
jussiexactly... :D07:22
persiaThere's a school of thought  that every piece of information should be a factoid so that people can remember factoids rather than URLs.  There's another school of thought that believes if information is good and useful it should be integrated with the standard documentation in an intuitive manner.07:24
tonyyarussoThen there's a school of thought that says why is persia philosophising instead of baking me cookies?07:25

Hooberthis is the one stop shop for friends08:02

rwwHello. Did someone decide to unban Hoober from #ubuntu-offtopic for some odd reason, is he ban-evading, or is my memory going wonky?08:18
bazhangunbanned it seems08:19
* tonyyarusso apparently had him on ignore08:19
rwwbad tonyyarusso :(08:19
tonyyarussoI know :(08:19
bazhanghe was told explicitly not to do that kind of thing or the ban would be much longer08:19
tonyyarussomust have been annoying somewhere else and I didn't bother to -channel08:19
bazhanghis comments are clearly upsetting folks08:20
rwwHe's one of those borderlines that toggles between normal topics and insanity :(08:21
bazhangmostly the latter08:21
bazhanghe was warned clearly about not trolling again when the ban was removed.08:46
elkyI'm too involved to act now too.08:48
ikoniaHoober: you've banned from #ubuntu-offtopic, you just admited you where trolling it earlier08:50
Hooberfuck you. fuck you in the ass. thats right you are such pieces of shit for not looking at my side but only what you could interpret a person's motives having to be to have my side08:50
Hoobershut the fuck up i quit08:50

IdleOneI don't know, maybe it is just me but the !sources factoid looks like one giant link, the 3 links all merge into one at first glance.16:49
