how would one credibly quote on IRC? Isn't the chat log enough for you?

how would one credibly quote on IRC? Isn't the chat log enough for you?
- lmm 8y agoMy point is that chat logs make IRC a lot more "on the record" than in-person discussions in practice (even if not in theory). Anyone who's keeping a log can quote directly from it, and those quotes are credible (if nothing else, because the person posting them doesn't know who else was keeping a log and can call out inaccurate quotes).
