      The same "garbage" comment was made in two channels.

      No, after being AFK, I grep my entire log for instances of "Simba"
when I get back to my computer to see if anyone was trying to get my
attention.  When "<InvinPoomie> So Simba's is junk? ;)" showed up, I got
curious to know what the conversation was about.  Then I see someone who
is supposed to be working with a team, expressing concerns in a
non-constructive manner about other teammates' work, I felt it was
important to bring it up for discussion.

      I don't care if you speak badly about it, but if you have something
to say, I believe that your concerns would be better attended if they
were brought up to the persons involved.  Yes, the network is founded on
free speech and nowhere in any of my communications did I indicate that
I was censoring your words or threatening some kind of action against
your ability to express them.

      Thanks.  :)

      I appreciate all of the work you have done for AnthroChat, and I 
hope that you don't think we took it for granted.  Among other things, 
you put up the initial web site in lightning speed, gave us a name, and 
provided the "first" server that actually made AnthroChat a network 
instead of just "Simba's IRC server".  Again, thank you for that.  I'm 
sorry to see you go, but I do wish you well in any future projects.
