It's more of a "I know you are, what am I" sort of sentence.And second of all, as [USER=6923088]@Aebir-Toril[/USER], has correctly pointed out here, I'm not actually the one engaging in complicated semantic arguments here.  I'm perfectly happy to give gatekeeping the simple plain unslippery unadorned meaning that is in the dictionary.  It is almost everyone else that engages in page long treatises to try to define "gatekeeping", to try to make a specialized meaning of it, to try to make it a term of art, and who yet uses it in slightly different ways to mean slightly different things when it is convenient to do so.</blockquote>
