nah I think they are Alex Plank's robots made to create the illusion that this forum is so widely populated.

I mean, have you noticed their perfect grammar and spelling? and how they always seem to be at their computers, posting, like they didn't have to work or sleep or eat?

Listen carefully to the hollow sound of my voice from this bitter cold tomb. I am definitely alive. All the worms that have entered this corpse have been taken over by my dominating personality. And that damned cockroach that has inserted itself into my domesticated worms is making me itch terribly. But by Jesus, or Zeus, or some other idiotic mental construction, I am definitely alive. Do not mind the smell. A corpse by any other name smells the same.

I personally thought the original thread was interesting and a valid point of conversation. Certainly much more so than, as I perceived, a failed attempt at trolling.

That is some very stupid criticism. It is quite idiotic. It is so STUPID that I use CAPITAL letters to emphasize how STUPID that criticism is...

Any entity that can ask a meaningful question with intention is conscious, therefor alive.
