gollark: Replace "socialist", "trade unionist", "Jew" etc with "person who does X, Y, Z".
gollark: ``` First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.```
gollark: Starscream says that's banned. I think it *might* be under creative (mis)interpretations. TJ09 hasn't explicitly specified.
gollark: What about "offer I accidentally declined"?
gollark: You mean the rules as posited by TJ09 or random moderators?
