Stepping down from the IRC team

[Benjamin Rubin]

I'd like to address a few of these points here.

The factoid mentioned above, was in fact "nbr" - as I'd noticed that on a

'!nbr is Netbook Remix' isn't a very informative factoid. If there was a
link or even a short description of what nbr is (rather than what it stands
for) then I don't think anyone would have had an issue with it.  I know I
wouldn't have.

While nhandler is an Ubuntu member, he is not part of the IRC Team. The only
thing that granted him access in #kubuntu-devel was that he is a freenode
staff member.  From what I can see, he was performing the handoff to our ops
team so that we could deal with it.  I'm at a loss here as to why this was
such a big issue to you.  All I see is you answering a question and being
corrected.

I don't think its fair to ask for these people to reveal themselves in a
public forum.  Its one thing to report what one might think is an issue to
another operator or IRCC member, its another to tell it to someone's face.
