[03:08] <Menzador> If you saw me unset -t in #u-o it was an error by my client (ChanServ fixed it)
[19:13] <tatertotz>  i understand how expensive "time" is and how long it would take to "ctrl+f" a IRC chat room, so if it's routine to operate on hearsay and conjecture for $/resources sake that is acceptable. With that having been said what are your "accusations" and how long is your ban?
[19:15] <dax> Hi tatertotz. I'm not sure what "hearsay and conjecture" refers to, can you elaborate?
[19:15] <dax> Also, bans in #ubuntu are not timed, they're removed when we have confidence that the behavior that led to the ban will not reoccur.
[19:25] <tatertotz> dax: yes
[19:25] <tatertotz> dax: hypothetically speaking
[19:26] <tatertotz> dax: if i were to say all (theoretical number) 34098 #ubuntu users called me racial slurs, spat in my face, and made death threats to my life
[19:27] <tatertotz> dax: do you and your friends get busy sending 34098 private messages out
[19:27] <tatertotz> dax: do you and your friends get busy sending 34098 private messages out?
[19:27] <hggdh> tatertotz: I am sorry, but I do not quite follow you
[19:29] <dax> tatertotz: If the entire #ubuntu channel started calling you racial slurs (presumably in #ubuntu), I expect #ubuntu would be heavily moderated until we figured out what on earth was going on.
[19:30] <tatertotz> dax: I understand, thank you
[19:31] <dax> tatertotz: That said, I prefer to stay grounded in reality, so if you could elaborate on what "hearsay and conjecture" has to do with your present situation rather than spinning up a hypothetical, I would appreciate it.
[19:32] <tatertotz> dax: i asked what your "accusations" were
[19:32] <tatertotz> dax: present them
[19:33] <tatertotz> dax: in complete sentences if possible
[19:33] <tatertotz> dax: but if not ..that's cool too
[19:33] <dax> tatertotz: I'd prefer to get an understanding of what your current impressions are regarding your behavior in #ubuntu and our reaction to it. Therefore, as I've already asked, please elaborate on what you mean by "hearsay and conjecture".
[19:34] <tatertotz> dax:  Information heard by one person about another. Hearsay is generally inadmissible as evidence in a court of law because it is based on the reports of others rather than on the personal knowledge of a witness.
[19:35] <dax> tatertotz: Yes, I am aware of what the words mean. I, obviously, am asking for an elaboration of what they have to do with your present situation, as already said.
[19:35] <tatertotz> dax: I'm here....from "accusations"
[19:36] <tatertotz> dax: i'm here
[19:36] <tatertotz> dax: at your request
[19:36] <tatertotz> dax: you asked that I join here...i did
[19:36] <dax> To be clear, I asked you to join here "when you decide to address the repeated concerns #ubuntu ops have expressed about your behavior".
[19:37] <dax> So, presumably, you want to do that. As said, I would like to start that by getting an understanding of your behavior in #ubuntu and what your impression is of our reaction to it. Therefore, as said, please elaborate on your opening comment about "hearsay and conjecture" and how it relates to your current #ubuntu status.
[19:37] <tatertotz> dax: i understand, well as happens in many marriages....we have reached an impasse
[19:37] <tatertotz> dax: (attempt at humor)
[19:38] <tatertotz> dax: I understand, you have a good afternoon sir
[19:38] <dax> That's about what I expected.
