You are having an overreaction. (But I would also say the ops are being overzealous and inefficient with their goal of having less people suck at IRC, which seems like a fine goal.)
(Times are Pacific, my client does not always log every channel event.)
Here’s the follow-up log up until this moment, which includes various chatter and discussion on this “drama”: http://pastebin.com/8Rz9PFv4
Edit: to the downvoter, I’ll happily delete both these comments if you feel that context logs shouldn’t be linked to so that anyone else on this site has a clue what this discussion is about.
Your log doesn’t show join or leave events. It’s somewhat relevant that the starting point for the argument is when Anubhav_C and Burninate_ get kicked off the channel without comment by Peacebringer (and then both rejoin) just before the “Why the kicking?” line.
Yes, it’s relevant, but also completely obvious from the logs so the full context is in there. However, the major part of “not sucking at IRC” is all the stuff that precedes the exact moment when they are kicked, not the arguments over being kicked.
