65. Per some other observations here...
it's a case of empty vessels making the most noise. The nature of bots (in general) is to post LOUDLY and often without worrying much about making sense. One-liners (we all use them, but some use nothing else), daft counterfactual arguments or (my favorite) the double cut and paste double cut and paste all show that to a bot, the important thing is to respond with the latest talking point, rather than present a meaningful argument.

It's the message board equivalent of rushing together a 10 or 15 second attack ad and booking it onto every channel: domination through saturation. Incidentally, Prophet, I'm also from your side of the pond and it's certainly a different kettle of fish over here.
