if you want me to kill 'em, I'll kill 'em. I don't have to kill 'em, but I'd like to kill 'em... Ive killed several; another killing or two won't make a difference... It would make me happy... I'd like to kill 'em both... I think it'd be better if I kill 'em both... Well, let me kill just one then... Whichever one you want... Alright, I'll wait. But the minute you say kill 'em, I'll kill 'em. I'll love to kill 'em. It would give me immense pleasure.

TK - I've been watching the threads (as I'm sure the other Mods have) in case the anger gets out of hand. I don't think it has, and the "implied violence" comes off to me as really pissed off people, not a call for actual violence (which would be a violation of the ToS, and would get shut down quickly).

I was pretty much just covering my ass legally in case anyone was inspired to beat off into the lobster bisque before they serve it to the "Captains of Industry" enjoying playa concierge service.


Heck, i may go work for a private caterer myself.

I remember when it wasn't so obvious that the "bot" was a manifestation of moop, bike theft and groping....... It ain't really the machines fault, I know, just the sort of characters who flock to it, and have no moral compass, no ability to change opinion or judge for themselves. You know, the sort of people the playa is blessed with nowadays.....
