    gollark: Again, you seem to just be explaining things poorly. You remind me vaguely of caveman, who seems to not be on here now.
    gollark: It's kind of dodecahedral to go around complaining about people not understanding you (and implying it's some failure on their part) and then refusing to try explaining it in better ways.

    gollark: Geckos are really quite cool reptiles.
