I'm on it pretty regularly, though I wasn't when the event which started
this thread happened, so I can't really speak to it and that's why I
hadn't responded.

In general, I feel like the channel is quite welcoming to newcomers, but
there is often a bit of a learning curve and when others point things
out that can sometimes be off-putting (not unlike our mailing lists..).

In any case, I'm happy to try and help out if people feel that there's
abusing of OPs or inappropriate behavior.

Thanks!
