It’s when he poisons the rest of the board with his intolerance and misogyny that he’s a major part of the problems here. People don’t want to deal with that crap and leave. I did for quite a few months and I know I’m not the only one. Running away from a board is what is cowardly. Now if you could please provide a cite for this so-called misogyny and this so-called cowardliness I’d be eternally grateful. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Tell me what you think about Bernie so I won’t need a job. So… you vote for this so-called Bernie who’s a bit on the weird side what with his crazy theories on women, sex, and money and then you get free stuff. _Yes yes tell me what you think about women, sex, and money and then you get free stuff…_ See… vote for Bernie and if he “wins” we get free things. Never mind who has to actually produce the goods and services. Why does communism have a higher death toll than fascism and yet people still worship statism? (I hope I don’t trigger Bone with that word) Because the allure of free stuff that government claus provides is so powerful. _Yes yes tell me what you think about Bernie, free things, never mind, hive mind, fascism, statism, bone, allure, free, stuff, government, and/or claus!_ I’m trying but you just ain’t listening… _Yes yes tell me about I,',m,t,r,y,i,n,g, , …_… How recursive is your script? Funny that when the left and other loons are accurately described as NPCs running a script we get an NPC emulating an NPC running a script. At least it’s novel and at it’s clever, so you get a “well played!” _Yes yes… tell me what you think is novel._ ☹ _Tell me about :(._ ---

Ranting like a loon while overworking your remaining synapses isn’t productive and won’t help you in any way. Finally, get over yourself and your virtue signaling need to correct every wrong on the internet. It’s pointless. ---

To be fair, the examples he’s been given of faux ELIZA responses haven’t perfectly followed ELIZA behavior either. The odd thing is that being faux-ELIZA’d seems to have made him mentally snap, which is a shame because I really wanted to hear him explain how “running away” from a board is cowardly. Now that he’s latched onto a semi-acceptable way to make his posts _completely_ content-free, though, I don’t see that happening. ---

> [@begbert2](#): > > To be fair, the examples he’s been given of faux ELIZA responses haven’t perfectly followed ELIZA behavior either. The first ELIZA response(mine) was real. I fed his question into an actual ELIZA program.
