Freenode IRC operators now engaging in routine abuses of power

There have been several allegations of this since the handover of the Freenode infrastructure to its new custodians, but I can now provide a first-hand account of one incident — because I am the victim of it.
A channel which I registered, ##hntop, has been taken over by Andrew Lee (rasengan) without my knowledge or consent.
...
Conclusions. In other words, it appears that a Freenode services admin, presumably rasengan,
- forcibly dropped the channel and reregistered it so as to put themselves in control of it, and render me no longer in control of it;
- clearly did this with the express purpose of frustrating an attempt by that channel's founder (me) to relocate it to another IRC network; and
- cover up the fact that I had sought to do so.

The point of the internet was that no one citizen, government, or otherwise entity could take it down.
Unfortunately, Jews run Apple, Amazon (AWS), Oracle, Linux, and pretty much everything else across a variety of disciplines. So, yes, one entity working together can in fact shut the whole thing down. They are an ugly people with an inborn resentment of those prettier and smarter than they are. Kinda like Mexicans, except that unlike Jews, some Mexicans on occasion actually work for their money rather than skim it.
