I agree - I'd like to see the issues explored in:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/private/community-council/2007-March/000535.html

more fully resolved.  AFAICS, the operator guidelines still don't
explicitly discourage counter-attack or specify freenode staff as the
correct/only escalation point beyond a ban or k-line.
