irc is a community inside a community... of course it is a good thing, particularly since nobody is forced to use it.
it's like an online water cooler where people can take a load off, where there is no awkward silence that can't be broken with a simple "poutine--", "!stats", "bacon++" or "s/foo/bar" (resulting in a certain character being thrown at you by one our much loved automated friends).
anyone that doesn't "get" #soylent obviously needs to do a lot less thinking, cos trying to understand anything that goes on there would drive anyone batty.
