gollark: Well, me, though I think it overreaches.
gollark: I mean, having the right to do something and it being a good idea to do it is not the same thing...
gollark: I... do accept that, you realise...
gollark: He had reasons. He also overreacted. They are not mutually exclusive.
gollark: The issue is more like "one person did a bad thing, there was a massive overreaction, and apparently you have no safeguards in place and someone can randomly run around deleting everything".
