pangolinsomeone please explain to malv that his BS is not going to be tolerated11:28
pangolinthank you11:28
topylii've had to remove him before, last time he was on about muslims. not sure if my comments got on bt, ubottu never confirmed11:30
pangolinhe's a good candidate for permanent ban11:31
malvjussi wrongfully banned me11:39
malvfor some reason11:39
jussiIm going to step back and let someone else talk here, as the complaint is against me.11:40
malvI would like another admin to supervise jussi in all future administrative decisions11:40
jussiif anyone has some time.11:40
pangolintime for frivolous complaints from known troll...nope.11:40
malvI would like a proper answer11:40
pangolin!appeals11:41
ubottuIf you disagree with a decision by an operator, please first pay #ubuntu-ops a visit. If you are still unhappy, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/AppealProcess for the steps you should take. If you feel the need to discuss the channel rules, please contact the ops on IRC or via the email address on the aforementioned page.11:41
malvI am appealing11:41
pangolinban won't be removed anytime soon. have a good night11:41
malvwhy not?11:41
malvwhere is my judicial hearing11:41
topylimalv: this is not a court. you're out of the channel, have a good time elsewhere11:42
malvno explanation?11:42
topyliyour behavior is not compatible with our code of conduct11:42
topylialso, you don't seem to be learning from hints so you haven't improved it11:43
malvI would like to hold a vote to strip topyi of administrative privileges11:43
Myrttiwhat other explanation do you need than we don't need or want trolls in our channel. I just looked what you've said in #ubuntu-offtopic and I see nothing but flamebaiting11:43
malvi vote yay11:43
Myrttimalv: denied11:43
malvbut topyli instigates11:43
malvvery unbecoming of an admin11:43
malvhe should be demoted to junior admin11:43
pangolinenough of that.11:44
topyliyeah. make that a week or two and we'll see. i don't have high hopes11:45
pangolinSome day I will quit the ops team/irc and I will try to remember to remove it. :P11:45
topylioffice cleanup :)11:48

Myrtticharming12:37
topylimalv just invited me to #markshuttleworth13:15
LjLoh lordie13:15
LjLwe're all picking on him in ##club13:15
LjLhe's a racist cunt13:15
pangolinerr13:16
LjL(and no i don't regret saying that on a logged channel, no)13:16
topyliand we're CoC-compliant :)13:16
pangolinI'll not remind you of the CoC in that case13:16
LjLi'm unlikely to care about offending people worth being offended when the CoC's application is cherry-picked, like you can badmouth pretty much everyone but CC members, and things like that13:18
LjLfix that, and i'll be more careful :)13:19
pangolinthe new IRCC will fix it.13:19
pangolinwith any luck13:19
LjLwell yeah maybe, i'll make an effort to start afresh myself after they're elected13:20
czajkowskiLjL: out of interst, why don't you now with the current IRCC?13:20
LjLczajkowski: oh nothing much against the individual members of the current IRCC, they're mostly good people, but somehow things have gotten out of their hands, and as it happens i suspect they're so frustrated with it all at this point, that they won't even attempt to set things straight anymore. i don't blame them. but i'm just not going to avoid calling things and people with their names13:22
LjLuntil standards are back to being applied consistently13:22
pangolinShouldn't we be the ones applying those standards?13:23
pangolinyou know, lead by example and all that13:23
pangolinNOTE: I am nowhere near perfect13:23
czajkowskiLjL: have to say it's rather disapointing to see to be honest, I think as pangolin says people shoul lead by example. blatant dismissing of rule and standards till you get a new council sees a bit harsh13:24
LjLpangolin, learding by example involves, for instance, the courage and ability to discuss (for example) CC members' behavior just the same as we discuss other people's behavior in #ubuntu-ops-team13:24
LjLbut when someone is called offtopic doing that, then the CoC is being turned upside down to who-knows-whose advantage13:25
LjLat that point i think it's worthless to just keep pretending things are alright, and try to fruitlessly "lead by example"13:25
pangolinLjL: I have no issue with discussing the behaviour of anybody in the community be it a CC member or not. but I do think we need to do it civilly13:25
LjLpangolin: are you aware of the incident i'm thinking about?13:26
pangolinvaguely recall something but not sure exactly no13:26
LjLpangolin: well i think it was a perfectly civil statement that was made13:26
LjLsomeone said they didn't like beuno's attitude13:26
LjLand the response was that this was offtopic for that channel13:26
LjLand CC members shouldn't be discussed13:27
popey[citation needed]13:27
pangolinoh, well in that case I think it was a misreading of intent13:27
pangolinI do remember now13:27
LjLpopey: the citation is available to everyone who should be able to access it, i believe?13:27
pangolinthe entire situation was mishandled in my opinion13:27
pangolinfrom the start...13:27
LjLpangolin: agreed13:28
LjLpangolin: and personally i don't even agree that beuno's attitude was bad13:28
LjLpangolin: i just disagree (strongly) with the fact it shouldn't be discussed13:28
pangolinSo it is unfair to say beuno had an attitude13:28
pangolinwell, maybe there are better places to discuss it13:29
LjLnot really13:29
pangolin-irc comes to mind13:29
pangolinit really wasn't a ban resolution issue13:29
LjLeh, so?13:29
LjL-irc seems just terrible for that to me13:29
pangolinbut the incident started in this channel so perhaps continuing it here would have been best13:29
LjLyeah, because that's what we always do with people who come in here13:30
LjL#Ubuntu-ops-team just exists for us to talk about cricket13:30
pangolinin any case, I don't think there are any unwritten rules about "discussing" CC members13:30
popey13:28:33 <+LjL> pangolin: i just disagree (strongly) with the fact it shouldn't be discussed13:31
popeywho said it was fact?13:31
popeywho made it policy?13:31
pangolinwhen I read the scroll back, it all read very tense to me.13:31
popeyas far as I see it was one person in the room who said 'i think' that we shouldn't talk about cc there13:31
LjLpopey: well that's precisely a big part of the problem, policy being made up on the spot. and then, that same person went on to say here something to the effect that "fyi, they're talking about beuno's attitude in -ops-team"13:35
LjLwhich i found extremely childish. not like the CC don't have access to -ops-team logs anyway13:36
popeyI don't see how policy was enacted by one person voicing an opinion.13:37
topyliLjL: no channel will change the team. as they say about national politics here, it's easy to change the goverment, but it's not trivial to change the people13:39
LjLpopey: maybe it wasn't enacted, but nobody except the "original poster" and me voiced a contrary opinion.13:39
LjLtopyli: you mean counciL?13:40
topylis/channel/council'13:40
topyliyeah13:40
popeyperhaps others didnt want to get involved in the uneasy confrontation between you guys13:40
pangolin^13:40
pangolinlike I said it all read like a very tense situation.13:40
LjLtopyli: well i have a little glimpse of hope still, i hate to think things won't change because if that were definitely the case in general, i might as well remove myself from the planet13:41
popeyI wouldn't be surprised if some people keep quiet for fear of upsetting you specifically LjL13:42
topylioverkill, there are lots of wonderful things on the planet outside irc :)13:42
LjLtopyli: i said "in general"13:42
popeyfor fear that you might spit your dummy out and take your toybots with you.13:42
LjLpopey: aren't you busy writing a replacement yet?13:42
* jrib is not sure what is happening but must go13:42
popeyLjL: nicely sidestepped13:43
LjLlet me put it this way13:43
pangolinstop!13:43
LjLcalling a racist cunt with his name is un-CoC13:43
LjL[14:42:12] <+popey> for fear that you might spit your dummy out and take your toybots with you. <- isn't13:43
LjLis that correct?13:43
popeyI was speculating reasons why people might not want to engage with you. Is that un-coc?13:44
popey*shrug*13:44
czajkowskiLjL: seriously if you can't watch your language in here how do we expect users to not swear in toehr channels13:44
topyliafaik LjL has clearly stated that the bots will stay, pending replacement or LjL's decision to liberate them13:44
LjLczajkowski: this is not a channel for public consumption13:45
LjLczajkowski: i'll watch my language entirely when someone is here to appeal something or other13:45
Myrttiand yet we know the logs are regularly read by the public13:45
LjLMyrtti: that's their choice13:45
pangolinit was your choice to follow the community guidelines when you became a ubuntu member13:49
topyliwell anyone who does read the logs should be allowed to expect to find stuff that's fit for ubuntu channels13:49
LjLand is respectful, and is on-topic13:50
LjLbut that's mostly ignored13:50
LjLinstead, even czajkowski focuses on my language, not my lack of respect13:50
LjL"language" isn't even in the CoC, it's just an emanation by the IRC team13:50
pangolinthe use of foul language is a lack of respect IMO13:50
pangolinWe are better than that.13:51
pangolinI know you are better than that. Please remember it.13:51
topyliLjL: if you call people 'cunts', i don't really have to focus or one or the other13:52
LjLtopyli: you don't have to, but you do. i think between the two issues you can see with that - the foul language, and the lack of respect - one is directly a CoC violation, the other isn't.13:53
pangolinone is caused by the other, so it is.13:53
LjLpangolin: what do you mean? that if i said "a racist <derogatory-but-not-foul-word>" it would have been ok?13:54
pangolinno13:54
topyliyou don't have to say anything personal about any user here13:54
topyliwe can ban the guy from our channels, but we don't need to attack him personally, especially in public where people will learn from our example13:55
LjLtopyli: i actually agree with that. i just won't care until i'm sure i *can*, instead, discuss this kind of things civilly in the appropriate place, be it here or -ops-team. when i'm told i can't, and nobody corrects this affirmation, the CoC stops being relevant because a regime cannot be "respectful"13:56
pangolinOne persons opinion is not policy, you know this. why are you continuing to use that as a point of contention?13:58
topyliLjL: your behavior is not supposed to be contingent on how you happen to feel today. i might as well remove you until you *can* be sure your manners are fit for ubuntu channels13:59
topylithat works too14:01
