There is a word in English that I saw defined _one_ time, and cannot remember, and couldn't find the original source.
It means a person who tends to be law abiding, but not because they ascribe to any authority of law, but because they happen to be good participants in the social contract and tend to have personal ethics that mean they _happen_ to not break any laws (like, they don't lie, kill, cheat, steal, etc., just not because there's a law or punishment).
Anyone know it?

We're halfway through the month and we're at 37% funded. This place is and will always be free. No algorithm cramming content down your gullet. Your posts, art, thoughts, links... won't train an AI to turn you into a commodity (though @Alfred is fantastic). No data to be harvested.
If you can't, don't worry about it. But if you can go #CoSoPro because this is the finest community I've found and I've been internetting for over 30 years.
We're going to need places like this more in the future.
Thank you Coso for a wonderful time today. I'm still working on chatting more. Until tomorrow, here is a cute sleeping kitty to melt your heart #Caturday
