And his eyes follow you around the room.

News flash: in the absence of a permanent administrator, @Colibri is running wild, exercising his powers indiscriminately, even to the point of insulting our AI overlord. Mark my words, no good will come of this. Discobot has powers that we cannot even begin to imagine, and Colibri has awoken its wrath.

Maybe. But the way Discobot keeps repeating the same trite shit over and over, I dunno. It sort of looks like a cheese slicer, or the thing that I use to open tight jar lids with, and might be no brighter than either of those.

And I seriously don’t like the way it’s arbitrarily closing and opening threads. This “community-moderated” bullshit, overseen by a cheese slicer, has got to stop.
