I agree that it's not the place for really private discussion, but there are some things that get logged that are still of a "less than want to be googlable" nature.
This appears to be the main argument. The solution, if one distrusts spiders' use of robots.txt, would be to put the logs where no spider can go. Admins will know how to do that.
But if this doesn't suffice, then I have no idea where the argument is because the act of anonymously taking part in IRC is certainly the same as making a log, and some lawyers might even argue, a public log. So the only solution then would be an invited (or named) conference.
I see no meaningful solution between the above two.
