To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand IRC. The
intricacies of this communication protocol are incredibly subtle, and
without a solid grasp of computer networking, most people won't fully
appreciate its capabilities. There's also the technical knowledge
required to navigate the various commands and channels, which is
skillfully mastered by those with a superior intellect. These
individuals possess the mental capacity to truly comprehend the power
and complexity behind IRC, realizing that it's not just a means of
communication- it represents a profound understanding of technology.
As a result, those who fail to grasp the brilliance of IRC are simply
ignorant. It's quite amusing to envision these clueless individuals
struggling to comprehend the intricacies of this remarkable tool. How
unfortunate for them, while I revel in my superiority.

Or just be old, being old helps. I fit into that group and used to
(and still sometimes do) connect RAW via a telnet or socket client. To
the point where if I wasn't active I would have to manually respond to
the servers ping request (heartbeat for those unfamiliar) ah good
times.

I started using IRC over 30 years ago lol.
