Maybe the phrase 'toxic culture' was imprecise and lazy to begin with. Now people are adapting it in a more precise way. That wiki page was started in 2011 and it's based on a pop-management book. It's hardly an establis

You can't prescribe how language is used. Toxic culture now means this. Changes in usage happen over time.

mIRC offers a fairly good UX compared to all those. If you're setting it up in a corporate environment, just change the ini files so it autoconnects to your server. It'll pop up a list of channels they can join. The server can SAJ
