Once upon a time, in the vast and interconnected world of Discord, there lived a deranged user named Coofl. Coofl was known to possess an erratic and troublesome nature, causing chaos and confusion wherever they went.
Coofl's presence in various Discord servers would often ignite heated debates and stir up controversy. They seemed to derive pleasure from provoking others and exploiting vulnerabilities within online communities. The username "Coofl" became synonymous with trouble and unpredictability.
One fateful day, Coofl stumbled upon a peaceful server dedicated to gardening and tranquility. The server was a safe haven for nature enthusiasts and gardeners to share tips, beautiful pictures, and connect with like-minded individuals.
As soon as Coofl joined the server, chaos ensued. They began flooding the channels with disruptive messages, spamming memes and inappropriate content. Coofl had no regard for the peaceful atmosphere that the server cherished. The members were taken aback by the sudden disruption, their once harmonious space now tainted by Coofl's reckless behavior.
The moderators and administrators swiftly took action, attempting to contain Coofl's disruptive antics. They warned, muted, and even banned Coofl from the server. But Coofl seemed relentless, finding new ways to bypass the restrictions and continue their disruptive behavior.
The server members, frustrated and exhausted, decided to unite against Coofl. They brainstormed strategies, developed stronger moderation systems, and established stricter guidelines. Together, they created a safe and resilient community, immune to Coofl's destructive actions.
Coofl, underestimated the resilience of the server's members, was astonished by their unity and determination. In their quest for chaos, they inadvertently sparked a stronger community driven by the shared love for gardening and tranquility.
Realizing their futile attempts to disrupt the server, Coofl finally decided to change their ways. They sought guidance from the server's moderators, sincerely expressing remorse for their past actions. The community, cautious yet open-minded, decided to give Coofl a second chance.
Coofl gradually transformed from a deranged user to a valued member of the gardening community. They embraced the server's principles, actively engaging in discussions, and sharing their own gardening experiences. Coofl even took the initiative to assist others, providing helpful advice and support to fellow members.
Over time, Coofl's erratic behavior faded, replaced by a newfound sincerity and respect for others. Their journey from being a disruptor to an integral part of the community inspired others to choose empathy and understanding over condemnation.
The story of Coofl stands as a reminder of the transformative power of communities, their ability to heal, and their capacity to empower individuals to change their ways. Discord, once shaken by chaos, became a platform where people connected, learned, and grew together, with Coofl as a shining example of redemption and personal growth.

Letters indicating the degree Legumptionorum Doctor, one learned in laws, gifted with legal gumption. Some suspicion is cast upon this derivation by the fact that the title was formerly ££.d., and conferred only upon gentlemen distinguished for their wealth. At the date of this writing Columbia University is considering the expediency of making another degree for clergymen, in place of the old D.D. — Damnator Diaboli. The new honor will be known as Sanctorum Custos, and written $$.¢. The name of the Rev. John Satan has been suggested as a suitable recipient by a lover of consistency, who points out that Professor Harry Thurston Peck has long enjoyed the advantage of a degree.

here's my hot take*: what's moral isn't always legal, what's legal isn't always moral.

legality and morality have a venn-diagram relationship, you know. they might mostly overlap, but dear god, please don't confuse one for the other. society's good at a lot of things, but accounting for nuanced situations through legal code.. is, uh, not one of them.
be your own pillar of strength and morality. be accountable to yourself. you know when you are crossing those lines, and you know it will backfire -- not necessarily because someone comes to punish you directly, but because what comes up must go down. and you need to know that when you transgress, you can make amends and redeem yourself. not because some legal system tells you 'pay $10000 or a year in prison or whatever, and it will make the situation better', but because you have learned and you have changed.

* /s, it's not even that hot.. but people act like what's legal is moral & vice versa with such conviction sometimes.
