That explains a lot...<br>
(And just for the record, I am using Free Pascal since at least
1997, when it was still "just" a 386 code producing clone of Turbo
Pascal and still named FPK (Florian's Pascal Kompiler, IIRC the
first copyright statements back in those days)<br>
<p>...</p>
<p>I don't care personally for any IRC channel (nor Discord, Slack,
or anything along those lines), but it seems that you have taken a
very dictatorial and oppressive view and thus actions on the IRC
channel, which seem to be rather detrimental and contrary to your
stated intention of "promoting FPC"... <br>
</p>
<p>For example, a lot of people might just be "lurking", simply
because they are new to (Free)Pascal, as well as not being able to
speak and properly write in English, because it is not their
native language. You are excluding and downright chastise those
people for being newbies. Not very inclusive and inviting...</p>
<p>Beside that people might not be able to tell you what they are
working on, as there simply might not be a specific project, as
they just might wanna work. But this is for you apparently just
another reason to slap them in the face and ban them. <br>
</p>
<p>Bottom line is that it is YOU who is "orchestrating drama" and
you don't seem to grasp that your actions are in effect malicious
to anyone in the project, be it developers or users.</p>
