Did a little research on how to spot a bot. Some bots will try too hard to speak casually by using an excess of “lol” or use awkward turn of phrases or repeating expressions just as our visitor repeated “you nuts” and idiocy. Don’t know if it was a bot but someone noted that he/she/it used the same expression “poisonous” as was used on twitter before a recent purge of conservatives.

Could be. Her posting history shows replies to be short and casual, like one would talk to a stranger.

100,000 Evacuated As Massive Flooding In China Threatens Ancient Giant Buddha Statue

Heavy seasonal rainfall, which has caused the worst flooding in decades across China’s interior, forced officials at the Three Gorges Dam on Wednesday to open all 10 spillways for the first-time ever in an effort to control rising water on a reservoir along the Yangtze River.

Don’t know if it was a bot...

Looking more and more as if our "mrsmith" is a bot.

Certainly doesn't read/comprehend incoming posts.

JimRob very plainly posted to 'em to shut up/go away and "it" posted again (one immediately after JR's post) about eight times before the Mod started to zot stuff.

Anyway, I'm going to be yellin' ABUSE whenever I see that handle around here from now on. AND THAT'S THE ONLY RESPONSE THAT I EXPECT ANYBODY ELSE SHOULD HAVE AS WELL.

Please!!

Eight hours gone to waste on that stuff is about all I think there should ever be.
