What would IT be like today without IRC (or the like)? Am I narrow minded to say that it would be a much safer place?
I can easily show you the flaw in this thinking. Take it to the extreme and ban everything except http and pop/smtp since that's all 95% of the users on the net use anyway. If only those two existed would it stop virus or spam? All that would accomplish is changing the infection and control vectors to using only those two protocols. Well that and it would pretty much limit the internet to being a newpaper/postoffice instead of maturing into a more functional communications medium that drives innovation.
