12:34:02beachmfiano: It is not the fault of anyone in particular. It is that I can't handle the kind of discussion with several people simultaneously. So in some respects it's my fault. But I need to prioritize my health.
12:48:39mfianoFor what it's worth, I have been considering devoting less time to IRC and possibly even Common Lisp for the same reasons. I also don't particularly care to engage in conversations with not very open-minded people not willing to listen, which seems to be common in the various CL channels.
