...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?
I'm a regular in a channel on the IrCQ Network (have been for 5 years now) and I've have seen and participated in quite a lot of abusive 'conversations' (I've probably started most of them). By saying that people wouldn't go back to that channel just tells me that you're either relatively new to IRC or you quit rather easily. I've seen people come back time and time again only to be ridiculed more each time. It's usually those who
do come back that end up earning the respect of the regular users of that channel and eventually make friends. It's like an initiation of sorts.
I know it sucks, but what are you gonna do? People will always be asses.
