i mean, isn't that like, the only way that it goes. You either lock in, be a dick, and die a dick. Or you fucking change your mind, because you aren't close minded.

Sure it would be optimal if they were there from the beginning, but like, it seems a little too harsh to not retroactively give them a pardon in this case.

but it is a very low bar to set for being “nice people”.

idk, i feel like it should be the normally accepted bar, otherwise there is literally no such thing as dissenting opinions. But that might just be me.
