Ok, change what I said above to this (remove the "Bob was lying about it"):

>>I think this is because, _whether you meant it or not_, your words did
>>directly imply that Crafty was programmed to have this behavior.

and it still stands.  If you want to quibble over slight wording mistakes,
perhaps you should examine your own wording from the original post(s), so that
you can see the true meaning of those words.  In the first post, it was pretty
much "Crafty is programmed to be abusive", and then after Bob's response, it was
"Bob is lying about Crafty's behavior", only not in so many words.  Again,
whether you meant it or not is irrelevant now, only that this is what your words
said in those posts.
