+## Debugging Logs
+
+Debugging logs can often be very useful for determining the root cause
+of an issue. Please note, these logs often contain **sensitive** data,
+and are likely not ideal for posting in the issue tracker, or anywhere
+public for that matter. If a log has has been request from you, it is
+preferred you email it directly to the developer, @jgeboski, to prevent
+from publicly displaying the log. By emailing a debugging log to the
+developer, you understand there is a risk of your sensitive information
+potentially being exposed. Before submitting a debugging log, it is
+recommended you change you password, or reset your app password.

+
+    set PURPLE_UNSAFE_DEBUG=1
