I still don't get it. My mind has now stopped thinking in Spanish and has a video running of a lean man running up a hill to exercise, then seeing a person walking towards them and running back the other way. Or perhaps it's a person cycling on the pavement. Or a big dog that escaped from its owner. Or all 3?
OK - so enough's enough.....I can put you out of your WTAF regarding this matter.
I don't like bots, nor most especially, bots that imitate humans. I feel that they pray on people (aka our friends and our community) here.....in a way that is not healthy.
I have been around here for a while.......and therefore have witnessed the exponential rise of these entities (although some other humans here do not share this perception that I hold.)
I have had a habit/penchant (French, don't-ya-know) to respond to entities that I perceive in that way, in a non-aggressive and non-invasive fashion.......with interactions from me that are "enquiring" and obtuse in nature. I am an analyst.
I have been told, by some members of this community, in recent times, to "cease and desist"....a request that I have adhered to......for the sake of attempted PEACE!
This thread that I started, was prompted by, a post that "peaked my interest" in my old penchant - IN A STRONG WAY..........but rather than respond directly, I chose to raise this thread.
I don't want to walk through woods with more signposts that trees, and with more trolls than squirrels, rabbits and borage.
I am a diminishing Number, it feels. Not an unusual feeling for me.
Oui, je comprend "penchant" - oh m*rd* , now I'm replying in French!
I find your posts interesting and thought provoking, and I think that zero is the strongest number.
Sometimes I see posts that are obviously bots - I don't engage with those - but I think that maybe there are some "bot" posts that I think are humans as I think they are evolving. But if it's a question that other people might have I'll respond with what I hope might be useful advice, as someone else might read it and find it helpful.
