You want to take the blame for something? Your selfishness and greed have shattered a beloved cornerstone of the FOSS community, leaving the people who created, nurtured, and provided for it since you were a schoolchild to pick up the pieces. This is not the fault of the former staff who have been steadfast for well over two decades, nor the fault of the relocating projects. This is your own mess. Do you really think people are persuaded by the blatantly transparent disinformation campaign we've been watching you traipse around the internet like a used car salesman with a "special deal just for you"? Your twisted self-serving half-truths hold no sway in the face of the numerous publicly available logs. Take the blame for the real issue; your comment is a specious facade of a personality. If you cared one bit about the cooperative community of creators you just trampled and steamrolled with an arsenal of lawyers that volunteers can't afford to match, you wouldn't have brought us to this point. You would have realized that freenode was a precious thing more important than your own ego and greed. Instead, your actions have spoken undeniably to the extreme contrary.
And now you do everything in your power to stymie the peaceful relocation of legitimate project communities simply trying to provide forwarding information in their topics during the transitional phase away from the epic disaster you created, while simultaneously slandering all of your victims? Did you put all those millions up your nose, or what? Hope you saved enough for some really good security; you just made enemies of an enormous number of the most relentlessly independent intellects in the modern world. You've furthermore sealed your own fate on a personal level: the only people who will have anything to do with you after this are the puppets mindless enough to believe your lies, and the leeches after your money and power. A cold, bleak existence indeed, but you've earned it.
