I guess I have an odd way of criticizing. Like when I said "I agree" to the request for $iel, or when I said "I 100% agree" to the suggestion about changing the way channel topics work in channel central, and certainly when I said agreed that XML should be added to mIRC, those are clear examples of criticism, and I can certainly see how you would regard those statements as "flaming".
In any case, the fact remains that you assume I don't know what I'm talking about. I've been writing UnrealIRCd for 3 years, and I worked on other IRCds for about another year before that. I'm well experienced with what requests get made for additions to an IRC server, and I know that color stripping/blocking is very much requested. Unreal already has it for channels, but I get at least one email a week asking that a usermode for color blocking/stripping should be added, simply because most people don't find color to be "fun" they find it to be "annoying".
