I think this bot needs to talk to a councilor. He really seems to have some pent up aggression. I'm going to schedule him a session with ELIZA [wikipedia.org].

And my post was merely calling you out on being a karma whore. The format was purely in parody of your own. I want no moderation for it, nor is moderation typically given to one who calls out karma whores. And, finally, if you bothered to check, you would see that my citing was spot-on. If you point your browser to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_whore [wikipedia.org] you will see it redirects to the relevent page. Sure, it would have been better to cite the actual page (which I did link to correctly), but it wouldn't have been as good a parody of your post.
