I don't have strong views either way. 

IRC networks are largely fungible as far as I'm concerned.

Christian (aka "Fuchs") seems a good chap, met him briefly in the past, and 
he's now gone to Libera.

Alas didn't get through to Christel yet, she seems to have reigned in her 
Internet presence, presumably because of fallout from this.





I suspect as one of the 'bad agents' in selling Freenode out to PIA (Andrew Lee's
previous company) in the first place, she's (wisely) laying low for a bit ..


It is likely promises were given about the purchase that were not kept. Are you sure Lee's previous company wasnt PITA? However I do know many people still regard Open Source and its communities as worse than communist that need to be taken over or extinguished. But not as many as think they can make a fast buck out of a few suckers.
