Thank you for the support to everyone who voted Aye on me keeping my job.

To those of you who wanted to sack me: I promise swift and terrible retribution, within the well established legal boundaries that prohibit me from abusing my powers and pretty much limit me to calling you mean names on Discord.

EDIT: And as apparently it is now necessary, yes this post is SATIRE so don’t prosecute me.
