A note or two, if I may.

We don't give everyone who has ever made a good level an op. If so, then nearly every single person in the channel would be an op.

No one is "all-mighty" in the channel. The ops are simply there to retain order. We don't op people based on JCS skill alone, but also reliability. We choose the ops, and not everyone can be one. If you aren't, it isn't an insult. Being an op requires commitment, and is not a judgement of what kind of person you are, and should never be taken as one. If I say "no," that does not mean that I do not like you. And that's all I will say on this matter. If either of you want to speak with me about this, please use ICQ instead of posting the mIRC logs here.
