Did you know that I'm just a non-entity on the other end of your internet connection, and you can say anything you like to me, no matter how rude, because I'm nothing but a collection of 1s and 0s?

It's true! You have completely free reign to vent all your frustrations, and project all your fear and anger on to me, because while you are a real, flesh and blood human being, I am just a digital figment in cyberspace.

    Merely a (admittedly potent) digital representation of an actual odor.

    Well props to doing such a fine job of representing the odor.  

    Or was I being nice there?

    Well, there is more than one collection of ones and zeros at the other end of the connection. If you use certain combinations of ones and zeroes, one of those non-entities will cut your posting privileges or even terminate your membership. For example, if you go to reddit.com and join the Christian group and quote bible verses, you will soon get a message that you are not allowed to post any more. You figure it out.

    It may be fantasizing on my part, but I prefer to think of you as a human being.  I'd hate to know I'd ever insulted a really good AI program. :-)

    Great question. You have just perfectly explained the experiences of millions subjected to internet trolls. It's really easy to be an ass online. They can say anything they like without the fear of the repercussions they may face in a face-to-face situation.
