> None of that really makes clear what Andrew Lee is actually doing that is so objectionable.
I second this sentiment. Can anyone summarize objectional actions that Andrew has either taken or committed to taking in the future?
As far as I can tell, he found a way to purchase legal rights to Freenode. And, he's communicated this control in a way that pissed off existing mods.
But, as a Freenode user, what I really care about is how this will impact me as a user. If the only potential impact this will have on me as a user is a smaller user base, there's a clear solution: don't leave?
