Not paranoid enough! What if Andrew Lee is an OFTC false flag?!

Exactly to avoid this sort of schism, I'm in favor of just moving 
to Libera first as a closed group, because it's designed as "The 
Freenode you know, minus Andrew Lee." If that turns out to be an 
issue, well, we just trained how to do server moves and OFTC is 
still there.
