@Wildones, yes, that incident was unfortunate, but I saw it as an unexpected side effect of getting used to the bot. The persons who spoke were venting between friends, and only voicing opinions. People can have opinions, and people need to be able to discuss things they take issue with, and get feedback from others sometimes. It is a pretty normal process: people look to peers to validate their experiences.

The bot was new and people were not used to it. It prolly never occurred to them it would be read, so it was not meant to be hurtful.

I feel bad for everyone who was caught in it, on both sides, the speaking and the reading, because it was not pretty. But since it being public was really accidental, does it have to make a lasting mark?
