If it's your first time to IRC, it takes a little getting used to. Things are a bit wild. But that's why it's great. I think painting a broad stroke of everyone in IRC being "trolls, bitter losers, or douchebags" is insanely inaccurate.
Basically, if you find yourself getting upset at IRC, do the following:
1.) Step back, maybe do something else to calm down
2.) Grow a thicker skin
If the Internet is the wild west, IRC is like the saloon where barroom brawls and duels are commonplace. It's rough and tumble, but overall a great place to be.

Heh, almost everytime I check, it seems, irc allen and someone else are bickering about something  Still there is some interesting stuff once in a while. Should probably be a bit more active there. |

No one on IRC is bad-hearted. You just have to get a feel for how people act. Don't come expecting much serious game discussion though. It happens occasionally, but only occasionally.

allen is pretty mean but other than that i dont think there is any big troublemakers maybe if bobo decides to argue with like Rinkuhero or something but he is not really dangerous despite claiming mastery of blades

All the times I've been there, it's been relatively tame.
I mean, come on, Ashkin hangs out there.

To elaborate, it seems great during the evening like 5:00pm - 10:00pm, but then a bunch of trolls log on and turn it to shit. I don't even understand why they go there. They don't post here on the forums and they obviously don't care much for indie games.
Late nights are where it's at. Just turn up your pointlessness filters. |

To be clear, it doesn't really matter to me if there is someone arguing with another; it was just an slightly silly observation I have made. Also I don't think anyone there I have seen is bad-hearted  |

Everybody knows that allen is just a big ol' softy. <3 All the times I've been there, it's been relatively tame.
I mean, come on, Ashkin hangs out there.

The point, Ashkin, is that you are a huge baby.

Growing more skin right now than you could ever possibly imagine. |

Yeah, well that tweet I made yesterday was an overreaction. I was just annoyed with GORFLORD but everyone else seems to be really cool.
literally everybody in tigirc gets sick of gorflord he was banned a couple of nights ago |

i also want to note that #allen is more chill than #tigirc, and has a smaller group of people and might actually be better for newcomers to try out than #tigirc is. it's still rough, but not *as* rough, and might be a way for people to get their toes wet in the water of irc |

tigirc is a bit more of a crowded beer hall
allen is a bit more of a portside dive
there may be fewer people and more interesting things to see but there's a lot of quiet rage

Allen is a little more hostile, I think, thanks to everyone (except eva) receiving operator privileges. That and it's sort of an established, tight-knit group. I would actually say that TIGIRC is, in general, quieter and more welcoming to dumb newbies than allen is.
