Synopsis:
   kick *|<channel> <nickname> [<reason for kick>]

Description:
   This command revokes the membership of another irc user from a channel
   in which you are a channel operator.  Customarily, it is used to remove
   troublemakers, flooders, or others who are making a nuisance of themselves.
   You may specify a reason for the kick, and doing so is considered good 
   style by most; however it is not required.

   Again, you must be a channel's operator in order to remove other members
   from the channel.  On some networks (notably the undernet), some users 
   (users with user mode +k turned on, such as the channel service) may not 
   be removed with the KICK command.

   From a purely technical point of view, any channel operator may remove 
   any channel member (including themselves) at any time for any reason 
   whatsoever.  Notwithstanding this, some channels may have structure and
   rules governing the discretionary use of the KICK command by its 
   operators.  Failure to obey these rules would constitute a breach of
   trust and you may find your friends no longer op you when you join.  
   This is, as we say, "tough luck".  You should be old enough that we don't
   have to tell you that others will treat you in the same way you treat them,
   and picking fights with others is rude.

Examples:
   To remove foobar from channel #blah:
      /kick #blah foobar Go away!

   To remove foobar from your current channel:
      /kick * foobar I said go away!!
