Isn't it crazy how you remember getting kicked/banned 20 years later? Around the same time (early 200x) I was temp-banned from #cpp or #c++ or whatever after being accused of asking a homework question. I had been active in the channel for awhile by then and simply didn't have homework because I was self-learning with everything I could find.

It just stuck with me because I idolized the people in that room at the time.

Sounds like something we might have done in #c. Eventually I learned how to act like an adult, some time after I became one.
It's not crazy if it was for a totally laughable reason, like puffed up pricks in #unix with channel ops don't even know IRC history.
