"I thought you would have a hoard of gold," the knight said.
"We sleep on what we treasure," the dragon replied.
"So where is your bed?"
The dragon shrugged, transformed into a cat, and jumped up on the knight's lap. "Here, if I may?"
"You may," he smiled.

Just a Public Service Announcement:

Calling for people to report someone actually doesn’t help moderation; in fact, it makes it harder for us to do our job. Whilst you may have “needed” this behavior on twitter, you don’t need it here.

"Design" as practiced today by computer people tends to be heavily based on the idea of negative space: that good design is what's NOT in a system, and by extension, what is NOT ALLOWED TO BE ADDED to the system by a user.
