Guess this is what I get for asking for help in a help channel.

Right now I'm having an issue with IRC I've never had before. Suddenly I can't paste links or text into IRC, even after completely reinstalling the program. So when my super tech savvy friends failed to figure it out, and Google search yielded nothing helpful, I decided to hop into #help and ask for help as it is supposed to be for general help with IRC problems.

Here's what happened (note the not-so-subtle nick change that was meant to insult me):

<JadeNSC> Hi, I'm having a rather strange issue with copy+paste. I can't seem to get IRC to let me paste text or links tonight, even after reinstalling.
<Redneck> Oh
<Redneck> I need...
<JadeNSC> I can't do ctrl+v or right clicking > paste. It does absolutely nothing, like I haven't typed at all.
<Redneck> The post has just arrived and in it a very nice surprise, the discovery that Jacques Seguela, one-time adviser to President Mitterrand, now close confidant of President and Madame Sarkozy (indeed he intoduced them), and something of a legend in French political communications, has dedicated his latest book to little old moi. With apologies for the missing accents here and in the French bits of the long posting which follows – the dedi
* Redneck (webchat@S010614feb5c6169a.ok.shawcable.net) has left #help
<JadeNSC> ...right.
* Flambe is now known as Flambe|zzz
<JadeNSC> So has anyone heard of this happening/know what might be causing it?
* Zacam is now known as FREDsaysURAMoron
* FREDsaysURAMoron is now known as Zacam
<JadeNSC> All right then, back to more Google

Oh, silly me thinking I could ask for help with a technical issue in a channel specifically designed for help. Yeah, if I wanted to be called names for asking an innocent question, I'd go back to LFR in WoW.

If anyone reading this knows anything about IRC and copy+pasting, please let me know. Thanks.
