Thank you for your patience!
You are everything you accused ex Staffers of being: An abusive operator with a massive chip on his shoulder. You are too immature to be trusted to run one channel, nevermind an entire IRC network.
You are poison and everything you touch will die. Freenode will not be the exception.

Decided to go through and grep my irssi logs.
Andy, remember saying this in #freenode about ten days ago?
08:57 < rasengan> You ban abusively, and haven’t really helped freenode at all until now. Freenode policies have been shaped for you and your posse to extract value and now you’re holding it hostage while asking people to go to another network.
Aged like fine milk, that one...

I'd ask you if all of this is really what you want to be remembered for, but the more important thing is that we're all going to get on just fine without you.
I for one just wanted things to be quiet. I understand it's frustrating to have channels pointing to a different network and users on your network trying to get people to leave. Even assuming, for the sake of argument, your intentions are good, how on earth was that just now considered a good move? Any basis for arguing you're acting in good faith you've pretty much destroyed at this point.
Your attempts to give this a positive spin on freenode.net[1] aren't very convincing either.
Not a fan of old Freenode staff. But the best alternatives definitely seem to be libera.chat and oftc!

It’s like you went out of your way to make the worst possible decision at every step. All you had to do was nothing, and let the people go who wanted to go. But now people are going to actively fight you.
"And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions of standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill."
I was willing to give you a chance but now, that chance is gone. Thanks for nothing
Ah yes, shoot first, ask questions later. Two of my channels just got hijacked this way and I'm not in a mood to jump through your hoops now.
Deprecated eh, you mean abandoned. Deprecated function removed immediately!
