[Because that's too hard a channel name to remember?]

<`Smoot> Because that's not why we were formed.
<Lynxie> That IS the whole idea you're giving people.
<`Smoot> Then they're misinterpretating the name.
<Lynxie> Then change the damn name. By using #not-plotting, you're STRONGLY implying that there's something wrong with #plotting,

[There is. You missed a whole discussion on it. You should pay more attention sometimes.]

<Lynxie> AND your statement backs it up.
<`Smoot> WHAT statement?
<Lynxie> If #not-plotting was based around socilaization of a select group of yours, THEN it would be an accurate name.
<Lynxie> But #plotting is not what you think it is.
<`Smoot> Hold on. Let me explain.
<`Smoot> This is what I told AliMc, who's already talked to me about this.
<`Smoot> <`Smoot> * `Smoot shrugs. We made the chan about three weeks ago. It's not a shot. Ever heard the term "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?
<`Smoot> <`Smoot> <`Smoot> #plotting, whether everyone wants to admit it or not, does what it's intended to do quite well, I've been told. We're emulating that as best we can. We wanted a writing-only channel on IRC, and not everyone can get into #plotting. So we made #not-plotting.
<Lynxie> #plotting... is...not...a...writing-only...channel.
<Lynxie> IT WAS A PLACE FOR BROOKE, ALI, DUEY, KJ AND I TO TALK!
<Lynxie> We got more people.
<Lynxie> Then someone said something on the messageboard--they were  WRONG--and then everyone decided that #plotting was writing-only. IT WASN'T.

[And you publicize yourself as this, and invite many people in so they can get help in the channel which is basically for writing fics, and....]

<`Smoot> Lynxie, I'm sorry, but now it's become that.
<`Smoot> At least, those who've talked to me from inside it have said as much.
<Lynxie> No, it hasn't.
* Lynxie IS inside, she knows the room a little better.
<`Smoot> I merely know what I've been told.
<Lynxie> By whom?
<`Smoot> If you like, I can get out logs. At the moment, I can't, because I'm in #subcafe.
<Lynxie> No, don't bother.
<Lynxie> Just do something about the situation, please.
<Lynxie> Calling it #not-plotting is childish and petty.

[Whining about it ain't much better, dearie. Neither is people crying in other channels about a freakin' name. Neither is threatening me, for God's sake!]

* `Smoot shrugs. I can post something explaining the name better.
<Lynxie> It's NOT flattery, it's just juvenile.
<Lynxie> Oh, I have a better idea...
<Lynxie> Why don't you change the name and post something saying it's changed?

[Because I don't want to give in to a MegaBitch who just berated me for a freakin' channel name? Because all you're doing is whining at me and demanding that I do things THIS way and THAT way? Because I don't like you? Because I'm saying what everyone else is afraid to? Sure, I'll change it. When you learn some manners. And when I give a flying fuck about what you think.]

[Heh... I sorta threw Lynxie at Samy, if I remember correcty. Samy's a vet -- I'm just an asshole.]

[And during the madness, we were in The Channel Of Doom Itself, doing what? Let's see. On, to During The Madness.]
