I think I need to restrict my participation in IRC channels a bit. I may even stop my regular morning greetings.

Discussions like the one we had yesterday in #commonlisp are making me upset, and that's not good for my health.

beach: for what it is worth, I skimmed through the logs, and find your position very reasonable

beach: Don't get discouraged. Even when I disagree with you I find discussions with you productive. I am still in #commonlisp but don't engage much because, in my opinion, some of the current residents talk a lot and yet what they have to say doesn't really contribute much to a productive conversation.

yitzi: drmeister said 4 hours, 16 minutes ago: Go ahead and merge the eclasp branch. It worked on my end.

I didn't intend to discourage you if it was my fault. I was genuinely curious on what you were trying to convey. I also consider every discussion I've had with you to be productive. I apologize if it was me who contributed to your IRC restriction.

yitzi: Thanks. It is not exactly that I am discouraged. It is that it makes me sick to conduct such conversations, and I don't think that's good for me.

mfiano: 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.

For 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.
