gollark: Perhaps we should do a randomized controlled trial to test this - randomly split the server into groups, and then expose them each to either *real* constant questioning about whether he's annoying, or *placebo* constant questioning.

gollark: I mean, annoyingness is subjective, but I believe if we were to run a poll or something it would generally be considered annoying.
