He-Man IRC log pre-ban from in-channel ##webdev (background patterns of behavior) and the private message conversation / moderation warning and responses had on irc.freenode.net. That second file is so lacking in self-awareness, civility, and anything other than misogyny, that it'd be hilarious if it weren't so hideously painful to see.

[2020-04-17T03:19:40-0400] rendar (~rendar@unaffiliated/rendar) joined the channel
[2020-04-17T03:21:49-0400] He-Man (~i.am@unaffiliated/policequest) joined the channel
[2020-04-17T03:21:54-0400] <He-Man> hi all
[2020-04-17T03:22:02-0400] <He-Man> could someone help me with my first website?
[2020-04-17T03:23:34-0400] <no_gravity> He-Man: In general we help with the building blocks. So if you have a question about a DIVs, a SPANs or the BLINK element, please ask!
[2020-04-17T03:23:58-0400] <He-Man> actually im looking for a feedback
[2020-04-17T03:24:05-0400] <He-Man> better ideas, etc
[2020-04-17T03:24:15-0400] <no_gravity> Oh! Show us!
[2020-04-17T03:24:22-0400] <He-Man> wow i can just post the link here?
[2020-04-17T03:24:42-0400] <no_gravity> Sure. It's only $9.99 today.
[2020-04-17T03:24:47-0400] <He-Man> hehe
[2020-04-17T03:24:55-0400] <He-Man> okay i'll just give you a headsup..
[2020-04-17T03:25:11-0400] <He-Man> i purchased 2 domains .com and local .co.za
[2020-04-17T03:25:31-0400] <He-Man> both are SSL and the .com will direct you to the .co.za domain
[2020-04-17T03:25:44-0400] <He-Man> so the website is https://www.beautybeyondsa.com
[2020-04-17T03:26:06-0400] <He-Man> and it should direct you to https://www.bnbsa.co.za
[2020-04-17T03:26:13-0400] <no_gravity> "Beauty beyond sa"?
[2020-04-17T03:26:29-0400] <He-Man> it's actually Beauty & Beyond SA Graphic Design and Advertising
[2020-04-17T03:26:47-0400] <no_gravity> Is "SA" a company type in za?
[2020-04-17T03:26:55-0400] <He-Man> SA - South Africa
[2020-04-17T03:27:00-0400] <no_gravity> I see.
[2020-04-17T03:27:16-0400] <no_gravity> Ok, here is my 10 second feedback:
[2020-04-17T03:27:25-0400] <He-Man> im all ears
[2020-04-17T03:27:31-0400] <no_gravity> My first click was "About us".
[2020-04-17T03:27:55-0400] <no_gravity> Looking on that page I though "Ok, only copy&paste bla bla here".
[2020-04-17T03:28:20-0400] <no_gravity> Then I saw the link "Who is behind..." and thought "Ok, maybe this is the real about".
[2020-04-17T03:28:25-0400] <no_gravity> Clicked on that.
[2020-04-17T03:28:36-0400] <no_gravity> Ended up on https://www.mitwalyosman.com/
[2020-04-17T03:28:41-0400] <He-Man> that's me
[2020-04-17T03:28:43-0400] <no_gravity> And though "Uh oh...".
[2020-04-17T03:28:46-0400] <no_gravity> Yup
[2020-04-17T03:28:54-0400] <no_gravity> So that was my journey on the site.
[2020-04-17T03:29:58-0400] <He-Man> it took me a month to design BnB; im assuming it'll take me a lifetime before i can finish my personal website
[2020-04-17T03:30:22-0400] <He-Man> it was easier for the Graphic Design service cuz it's somehow limited to what we can offer
[2020-04-17T03:30:29-0400] <no_gravity> "we"?
[2020-04-17T03:30:39-0400] <He-Man> but i want my personal website to include everything about me
[2020-04-17T03:30:44-0400] <He-Man> me and my service haha
[2020-04-17T03:31:07-0400] koloquial (uid190389@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-mbarwhdarandddxr) left IRC (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
[2020-04-17T03:32:33-0400] <He-Man> the name (Beauty & Beyond) was suggested by my good friend who was an ex model.. she picked the name and we started it as a 'virtual modeling agency' where we'd focus on designing and promoting for aspiring models
[2020-04-17T03:33:51-0400] <He-Man> after 8 years of service i still think it sounds like a cosmic or hair beauty salon
[2020-04-17T03:34:03-0400] <no_gravity> You have been running it for 8 years now?
[2020-04-17T03:34:10-0400] <He-Man> since 2012 yes
[2020-04-17T03:34:14-0400] <no_gravity> Cool
[2020-04-17T03:34:23-0400] <no_gravity> You are making a living from it?
[2020-04-17T03:34:28-0400] <He-Man> yes
[2020-04-17T03:34:32-0400] <no_gravity> Congrats
[2020-04-17T03:34:36-0400] <He-Man> thank you
[2020-04-17T03:34:58-0400] <no_gravity> Second feedback: The header kind of breaks when I scroll down.
[2020-04-17T03:35:20-0400] <He-Man> im using a sticky plugin for that
[2020-04-17T03:35:49-0400] <no_gravity> When I scroll down, it wraps.
[2020-04-17T03:35:58-0400] <no_gravity> So "contact" is on a new line suddenly.
[2020-04-17T03:36:35-0400] <He-Man> is there a Translate block between them?
[2020-04-17T03:36:48-0400] <He-Man> i honestly thought i removed that
[2020-04-17T03:37:15-0400] <He-Man> as in deactivated it
[2020-04-17T03:38:00-0400] <no_gravity> I'm off for breakfast. Cu!

[2020-04-30T20:02:10-0400] <He-Man> just cuz you have a flower doesn't give you any right to talk to people like that

[2020-04-30T20:02:37-0400] <GothAlice> Getting a warning for behaviour un-conducive of productive assistance, then getting banned for your reaction to a moderator of the channel? Good luck with life, buddy.
[2020-04-30T20:02:42-0400] <He-Man> anyways could you help me with my website?
[2020-04-30T20:02:54-0400] <GothAlice> https://f.v1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/34021l0W2h2G2H0T1H2I/Emma-Watson-GIF.gif

The disconnect highlight and absolute lack of self-awareness doesn't really surprise me from a misogynistic pig, and at least this was better than this incident, though that one was, at least, mercifully brief. (If somehow even more astoundingly stupid; at least in #LaTeX, I wasn't a moderator.)

[2020-04-30T19:41:43-0400] <He-Man> lol fuck you
[2020-04-30T19:42:09-0400] <He-Man> tf you think you are bitch talking to me like that

I'm a moderator of a channel whose rules you are in violation of. The "that's who" response of mine came immediately after the /cs op, /mode +b, and /kick.

[2020-04-30T20:00:26-0400] <He-Man> im honestly not the least upset
[2020-04-30T20:00:45-0400] <He-Man> i just don't expect THAT here in freenode

And given everyone has one, I should expect assholes like you? The strength of your reaction and absolute lack of thought demonstrate the impact sufficiently.

[2020-04-30T20:02:10-0400] <He-Man> just cuz you have a flower doesn't give you any right to talk to people like that

And just because you have a phallus doesn't mean you have to be a dick. And yet, well, there you went. Le sigh. The assumption of biological gender, the assumption of heterosexual desired relationships (with guys like you, who needs guys like you?), &c. just adds to the bemusement. Such hot shit. Obviously desirable. I make this log public to hopefully discourage such thoughts after a casual Google search.

Helpful tip for the future, and advice I often need to give my now elderly mother when interacting online: what is the intent behind making your posting? If your intent is to repair the situation, that's one thing, but the intent in the above is clearly that of burning bridges, with no fucks left to give. Might even have been attempting to be funny, on some planet, somewhere.

A +b is such a trivial way to absolutely eliminate such annoyance.
