So make it on the proposals on the table, not the ones which

...thepfy BAD thebot GOOD when the only difference is the owners.
Again, pot, kettle, black.

Me, I'm arguing the issues, and trying to
a) get a consistent, fair outcome which ends up with an IRC channel
     evolt can be proud of
b) find a reasoned compromise which will make everyone reasonably
     happy.

You'll note that my proposals actually agree with most of your
concerns about bots - you didn't want people being archived without
their knowledge. Fair enough. That's what my proposals say. It's the
approach we took with Admin (that people know before their words
are published) - IIRC you thought it was a good approach then.

Please don't come up with new demands once your original ones
are met.

Michele, please recognise when people are meeting you half way
and return the favour, rather than spitting in their faces.
