 ## What qualifies as drama? ##
 There's no agreement on what's considered dramatic enough to be included
 in github-drama. Everyone has a different sense of humor. There are plenty

-a 4chan thread but less funny.

 This repository follows the guideline that if anyone in the thread appears to
 be getting worked up about something, it can be considered for inclusion here.
