> [@Leaffan](#): > > I rarely join in the conversation on these types of threads, but I was sadly reading the original thread and feeling empathy for **Dorothy** when my jaw hit the floor on **bot3** ’s post. > > What an asshole. Yeah. I thought the people objecting to dog walkers placing sealed bags of poo on trash waiting to be picked up was surreal. Bot3’s response was mind-blowingly sick, especially since the natural impulse of nearly everyone else was to ask where the OP was so they could put \*\*SurrenderDorothy \*\*up for a few days. Brother needs to find a new species; humanity isn’t working out. ---

What a cunt. 1. Void of any humanity. 2. Drops into a community, disregards their culture and then takes a cannon shot of shit at one of its members whom he knows nothing about. 3. Can’t even be a man and take return fire. See, now I’m all messed up. I worry for **SurrenderDorothy**. She’s a little further out in my monkeysphere than irl friends, but I recognize her as a member of my community and for all intents and purposes, I consider her a friend. Now how do I reconcile that with hoping that this bot asshole gets a full face of what it’s like to have nothing? I mean not stuff, but no peace of mind, no security, nothing. I hope for your redemption, **bot**. Without it, you will never be anything better than what you are. ---

He did apologize in the other thread. It wasn’t a fantastic apology, but I’ll accept it. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > He did apologize in the other thread. It wasn’t a fantastic apology, but I’ll accept it. It was barely an apology. It was ‘well since you proved yourself to my standards I guess I shouldn’t have jumped on you but I was right to do it’. Color me unimpressed. ---

You’re right. He did take a stab at an apology. Did this before I saw that. Guess that’s…progress. ---

Sorry, that non-apology reeked. If you think something is hinky, you ask for clarification first before you go off. Instead, the cart was before the horse and if that explanation was supposed to justify why, I won’t cut any more slack for it than it cut for **Dorothy**. ---

Yep. Shitty non-apology. I’m still pissed about it. Oh, and in case anybody wants to accuse me of being pissed about something that does not affect me and I could be directing my energies into being pissed about bigger things in my own life, trust me, I have mastered the art of being pissed about a lot of things that you don’t even know about. Bot is still a reprehensible dick. ---

man, this guy bot3 is just another example of the venom which Obama’s reelection has summoned from a segment of the population. Are there really that many soulless machines out there?
