gollark: - you should tell people when you find some information on them, not then decide to go hunting for yet more information and not telling them in the meantime- you should stop gathering data on them when they ask you to, and not try and deliberately stop them from knowing you're doing it
gollark: Fine, I'll try and restate my views less ambiguously.
gollark: You did say something about not stopping if someone asked you to?
gollark: Ah, no, I'm not against the telling bit ~~as much as~~ but the refusing to stop bit.
