The IRC world was (and still is) a big place. Like any aspect of life, the Internet has its fair share of idiots and IRC was no exception to the rule by any means. I did the honours of starting a segment on Watchdog’s Corner which would advertise the existance of lamers (people who act like fools on the ‘Net). Lamers Corner became quite popular with visitors to the whole Watchdog’s Corner website and this spurred me on to making it a big part of the site, which is exactly what happened. When asked by Bigpond to dismantle that section of the site, I co-operated, as the site was then hosted on their servers. Despite my willingness to co-operate I was extremely annoyed with this assault on free speech, especially when it drove hundreds of people a month to my site. In hindsight I do regret delinking Lamers Corner.
