The resolutions offered are very weak, and not really applicable. By the same token that a user gets kicked for a "good reason", I don't think that user will want to come back to a place that's abusive anyway - so why not get the last word?

- By it's very nature 'getting the last word' is as childish as anything can be. Anyone who's so intent on getting the last word is therefore almost certainly deserving of the kicks/bans they receive. And it's impossible for mIRC to implement this even if it was desired (which it absolutely isn't by anyone who has ops on channels which get troublemakers.) - it would require changes in the protocol.

As for the swearing, mIRC and IRC are chat clients. Their purpose is communication. You may have some almighty aversion to swearing, but if that's the case then you should block it on your side. Why should the rest of us who really don't care about it be expected to have our ability to communicate limited because of what you find offensive? Of course there are plenty of people who give other people hell on IRC, but so what? IRC is full of all kinds of people, which means there are proportionally as many jerks on IRC as there are in real life - that's a great deal. Stopping swearing wouldn't stop people being offensive by any stretch of the imagination. Not to mention the issues of what constitutes swearing, what languages, etc. etc..
