Considering, how "awesome" history of moderating IRC or even the own Neo900 section of TMO the Neo900 "leader" have, you may expect that it won't have anything to do with free speech or FOSS ideals. Just a sandbox/kindergarten of one frustrated guy.

Side effect of this separation - Free'ness/Openess aside, it means that it will have MUCH less in common with Maemo or Maemo community, than previously promised. Also, considering how much "love" is in the air between Maemo's leadership and Neo900's dictatorship, you may skip any hopes for official cooperation, too (and rightly so - anyone wanting to do anything official with joerg would need to be not entirely OK in his head).

Quick reply...

Sometimes I wish to put chemist, Estel, freemangordon, joerg_rw, Win7Mac, woody14619 into one closed room, so that they would not be able to exit it until they finished figuring out who said what, why, and what is true and what is false, and justifications for saying this and that.

Sadly, it would probably negatively impact the maemo.org business. Chemist maintains CSSU-Stable. Estel is researching hardware's mods, and prepares aluminum backcover-body. Freemangordon (Nothing is impossible) is Community SSU and kernel-power developer. Joerg is MCe.V. foundation member, hostmode fanatic and Neo900 developer. Win7Mac is a member of HiFo board and wiki maintainer. woody14619 is a member of HiFo board, quite active on TMO and IRC. Taking all of them offline into a face-to-face discussion would probably have too negative impact on maemo.org.

Still, when you need to have a holiday from work, consider possibility of meeting face-to-face and arguing for a long time

Best wishes.
