I've noticed that a lot of wikipedia users don't like irc. I was wondering why. Is it just because it's not as transparent?
I can only answer for myself, and the reason is quite different. When something is said on the mailing list I can take my time to come up with a thoughtful response, and even then I have at times been too hasty in my comments. If I do that in a chat room, then by the time I am ready to send my answer the other participants may have long since moved on to a different subject.
