the context of the comment taken out of context is what the OP 
originally asked:

"mr_clark So why would a channel called "whitebox" be telling people to
switch to centos?"

to which I replied:

"donavan maybe whitebox is a pathetic weak distro?"

my comment out of context with his question gives the wrong impression, 
some people lack the ability to recognize 1/2 sarcasms.

as for the rest of "MY" responses, there is nothing negative or 
misguiding about any of them.  One is obviously sarcasm in case anyone 
missed it.

I'll have nothing more to say about this topic on this list.

And as for the reason the topic says to join #centos or whatever in the 
topic its because when people get on IRC looking for wbel help, I (and 
other) guide them to #centos where they may get some help.  As none in 
#whitebox even offers to help people on whitebox.  CentOS and whitebox 
are nearly equivalent presenting your question in #centos allows others 
to learn/gain knowledge without the politics of #rhel.  Look at the 
#centos logs, you will see plenty of users offering and assisting wbel 
users.
