Greetings! I was just banned from the #winehq channel on freenode for suggesting to a newbie that he use winetricks to install directx 9c. I was told that winetricks is for developers and that installing directx this way can damage your wine install.
I am currently using the latest developers version of wine with directx 9c installed and configured with the latest winetricks. I am playing the latest Civilization 4 expansion pack with no problems whatsoever on Ubuntu 8.10.
I resent getting banned for accurate information and think that channel bans should be reserved for obscene or abusive behavior only.
Thank you for tolerating this rant.

He was not banned from #winehq. He does not exist there, either.

I do occasionally...I'm almost always in #winehackers though.
