From a wider stance, I have to say that it's actually nice that one can kill (murder?) a troublesome bot without consequences. We can't do that with humans, and there are much more problematic humans out there causing problems compared to this bot, and the abuse can go on for a long time unchecked. Remembering in particular a case where someone sent death threats to a Gentoo developer about 20 years ago. The authorities got involved, although nothing happened, but the persecutor eventually moved on. Turns out he wasn't just some random kid behind a computer. He owned a gun, and some years ago executed a mass shooting. Vague memories of really pernicious behavior on the Lisp newsgroup in the 90's. I won't name names as those folks are still around. Yeah, it does still suck, even if it is a bot. | ||
