Let's see. #pygame's not registered by any of the project members, in fact it is not even registered. How dare you to say one of the pygame members then should take resposibility for it? It's announced on the pygame.org website, but noone claims it to be the official support channel run by any project member. That on the one hand. On the other you call someone troll without bringing any evidence, but only two random citations, which you could have made up. So far so good. There are some rude words from time to time in the channel, but those who usually get rude are not trolling, but give some (although subjective) critics on whatever one asked, which - if spent some more time thinking over it - mostly will show you your problem or at least give you some rethinking about it (read: help to help yourself). If it's some sort of stupid comment for you, put those people on your ignore list. I still will talk to most them due to two reasons: * those who turn out to be some more rude, are not trolls and no dumb people either - in fact for more experienced people discussions with them mostly turn out to be pretty interesting. In the years I'm hanging around on #pygame I only noticed a troll once, who wanted to start a flamewar over ruby vs. python * when they start to get really rude, so someone could feel insulted, I noticed that the person in charge is mostly either pretty ignorant on their rough, yet true comments or simply talks rubbish I do not know, if the latter reason applies to you, but I do not imply it as well, so do not take it as an insult from my side :-). > I suppose what I can do is talk to the user jeremyb about ##pygame. > With luck, I could ask the FreeNode staff to shut down #pygame and > redirect to ##pygame, like they did with #physics and ##physics when > #physics got deregistered.

Mostly even the weirdest question will receive some answer, depending on who's around and willing to answer you. Regards Marcus
