gollark: Which kind of works even if you haven't taken vengeance on *anyone* yet, if people *think* you are likely to.
gollark: As I said, if people know "hmm yes if I do bad things to this person they will have VENGEANCE" they are less likely to do those bad things.
gollark: Or I guess not even in that weird way.
gollark: > vengeance is a vicious cycle and doesn't actually help anyoneAh, but it *does*, acausally speaking in some confusing way.
gollark: if you make a credible precommitment to take revenge in advance, people might not even *cause* you to require vengeance in the first place!
