"Real nice channel you have here.  It'd be a shame if anything happened to it."

You know you're an asshole when you're so offensive you can base an extortion racket on getting people to pay you to stay out of an IRC channel.

It's not extortion; as was already mentioned, /ignore is freely available. If someone is so stupid to pay, and not use /ignore, do you really have any pity for them? And don't forget the other side of the coin, http://pauamma.nerim.net/banning_brendan.order.html wherein channel staff will ban someone for money. See, that isn't consensual, I'm not agreeing to be banned (except for the stipulated conditions on my web page); My method is consensual, as noone *has* to take part in it (which by the way, noone has yet, some ppl got smart and used ignore).

Side note to #c users in freenode (net?): Mike is being recoded and updated, and the source is going to be open-sourced, so dunno what you have there (I've heard you have a cat), but his forum is at http://3whack.org/mike if any want to participiate.
