Nut heads on IRC

Few moments ago I tried logging in from mibbit to Freenode. I was presented with a neat little message “Nick already in use”!

As most of my online chaps on freenode know my nick is `krish`, I logged in with `realkrish` and politely pm’ed the current user of `krish` to change his nick.  Here’s the conversation….

0:06	krish	hi
0:06	krish	who are u
0:06	realkrish	I am krish
0:06	realkrish	you are using my nick
0:06	krish	xncxncj off
0:06	realkrish	what!
0:07	realkrish	dude you stop using my nick please
0:07	krish	u r realkrish doesnt make u real krish
0:07	realkrish	ok this is the last time I am warning you
0:08	krish	so just get lost else I would have to report u
0:08	krish	too the cybercrime division
0:08	realkrish	if you dont log off my nick within 5 sec. I will have to remove you
0:08	krish	remove me from what
0:08	realkrish	I am waiting
0:08	realkrish	change your nick
0:08	krish	i told u
0:08	krish	get lost
0:08	krish	thts my name
0:08	realkrish	now lets see who does
0:09	krish	and iam nt going to change it
0:09	krish	:p
0:09	realkrish	dude I am on this network from past so many years with my name krish and you come up and use it
0:09	realkrish	I told you politely. Now its time to kick you out
0:09		*** realkrish is now known as krish
0:10		>>> krish was n=krishnan@116.75.171.217 Krishnan

I could have just ghosted him without giving any notice, but didn’t want to abruptly end any important conversation that guy must have been into.
Notice the way he warns about reporting to cybercrime division; for what? Asking you to stop using my nick!

Now wonder why such nutheads dont understand when people approach them politely.

@krishnan@116.75.171.217 – I hope you learn net-etiquette soon.
