gollark: The broader issue is that you have alienated a bunch of the community by imposing the noncompromise earlier.
gollark: As I said, I consider that compromise fine with regards to the specific issue it is actually addressing.

gollark: Which is somewhat reduced by you vaguely compromising, I guess.
