RFC: #ubuntu op misuse or not?

[Carl Karsten]

"Please be considerate of everyone and keep all the Ubuntu IRC channels
friendly places for everyone. This means that you should avoid any language
which may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of
such language."

You could argue that the words do not always bla bla bla and you would be
wrong ;)

I think what is important is the meaning, which is not easy to define, so
"keep ... friendly places" is good enough.
