That reference may have gone over people's heads; I was referring to
having a major IRC-related snafu blow up like this right as the
discussion had come up here on the mailing list.  It would be POINTy
if someone had intentionally set it up so that there was a
controversial admin block due to IRC discussion right as we were
arguing over how bad IRC was.

I don't actually believe it was done for that purpose; it was a throwaway line.
