gollark: Yes. A "joke". Definitely. vote gibson, !lyric!demote!.
gollark: The "joke" mutings/kickings are a bad thing which should stop, yet LyricLy has not done this despite agreeing to not mute/ban people without consent and also admin guidelines.
gollark: He is also generally vaguely tyrannical.
gollark: I think andrew is.
gollark: *Maybe* the alleged "bad sense of humor" is actually a bad thing about him which is bad?
