Yes, that´s how I basically feel about it, too.
Well, for me it´s not so much about meeting people, but about considering points of view that deserve to be taken seriously. As soon as there are real people involved, my focus seems to shift - I am inclined to take individual feelings into account.
Indeed, I would expect there to be a wider range of creativity in dealing with the same old if there were real people at work.

Then again, there are those posters who keep posting like poorly programmed bots, anyways.
Often I find myself paying attention and responding to them "because they have feelings, after all", which wouldn´t be a criterium if they were bots.
So I suspect that I´d stop responding to those who appear to be poorly programmed. One trick ponies and such.
DOES NOT COMPUTE...all posts on CF (except for yours, of course) are written by bots - what would you do? Stay, go away, keep reading them, stop reading them, keep replying/posting, stop replying/posting,...?
(Not really an ethics/morality question. I post it here only because most of you bots I interact with hang around in E&M.
int factorial(int sum) {
if (sum == 1) return 1;
if (sum != 1)
return product(sum,
factorial(sum - 1)); }
That means, when God reaches down to one of you at some point, I hope you will remember me and come talk to me as someone you trust to answer your questions honestly.

So based just on personal experience at this forum I would have to say if we knew that one specific username was a bot, we'd likely see their threads getting more attention rather than less lol.
Chrisbot? He had a huge postcount.You might not have been around here when it was going on, but there was a particular username that everyone was certain beyond any shred of doubt was a bot ... and it always ended up garnering long-running threads, quite often with people saying things like "stop responding, it's a bot"
I agree with Quatona that while thinking about the OP I realize that I almost certainly 'tone down' and pay more attention to some threads simply because I accept that their is a thinking and feeling person behind the username. If I knew that everyone else besides myself was a bot though I doubt I would hold back at all in the face of the massive idiocy and derangement contained within E&M (and CF in general). Even if that meant the bot-moderators would ban me

But I was thinking of the one that kept posting the extremely weirdly-worded polls lol.
