That kind of impractical nonsense.

In C, there is no stack.

##c is perhaps the most infamously caustic active channel on any IRC network today. Fun, if that's what you are into.

I figured it was just one guy who is so awful. It's more than one person?

To be honest I haven't been there for more than a year, but I remember it being a cumulative effect.
