gollark: There are vaguely horrible things going on now in various places; this doesn't make them correct.
gollark: "Everyone else does X" is poor justification for X which could, at various times in the past, justify basically every bad thing ever.
gollark: Or at least justifying it that way.
gollark: Apparently, palaiologos is banning invites because something something competition and because other servers do.
gollark: Apart from the various ways in which lyric bad, lyric was fine.
