Notes
    gollark: > I don't really like the term of "respect", because people use it to mean so many different often mutually exclusive things based on convenience then equivocate them in weird ways;
    gollark: See, I consider this somewhat, well, worrying, given what I said about "respect" for authority figures being pretty close to "subservience" a lot.
    gollark: "i will be respected here." implies EVERYONE, not just staff.
    gollark: I don't think it ever really had those except one time when the debug interface [REDACTED]/
    gollark: What's the problem with that? It doesn't really have horrible security problems. I fixed those.
