<div class="PlainText">I bet this Joanna character is an active member of her Homeowners<br>
Association.<br>
<br>
I verified that there is an operator named Joanna on #fpc on<br>
Libera.Chat.<br>
<br>
The power-hungry kind of behavior exhibited by Joanna is bad for the<br>
channel and therefore bad for the project. In another post Jacob<br>
mentioned that Joanna had kicked him from several other channels on<br>
which he had done nothing. This is inexcusable. I assume now that I've<br>
written this I'll meet the same fate. I'm rethinking my use of FPC and<br>
Lazarus. What good is software if you can't get support?<br>
