I was making the same judgement :]
We will look back at this some time and laugh, hard.

What an unbelievably stupid question. I didn't actually think you had it in you. I gave you too much credit. In future I will not make this mistake again.

You mean "fills" Guilty. I'm guessing they're talking about a car they've given a pet name.

Ah, shucks, you guys. You take me way too seriously sometimes.

This was my silly little reference to the fact that most mechanical sentient creatures become so through malfunctions. Apparently it was too far-fetched.

That aside, I wouldn't really call the terminator sentient, as such... Clever programming, yes, but sentient?
Mind you, I wonder the same about most humans.

It is an amazing deal and well worth telling everybody about, because i havent seen anything like this before. when i was small i bought it for 3 dollars which i loaned from a friend and those 3 dollars were my last this month. but never give him back . Still I fill Guilty.
The user's definitely human (and definitely not a native English speaker). That being said, there's no way to be sure they aren't a human spammer, but in this instance I'm relatively confident they aren't.

Well, we just thought he was because he took that first sentence from the OP and hasn't posted since this one.

But wait, the first post started with "I" and didn't capitalize the J!

It isn't, but in the words of Blorx, that's just too hysterical to delete.

Besides, the poster was banned just now, but for another reason.
It is odd that I didn't find out what until today.


EDIT:
The user posted in another thread aswell.
Wolfire = Lawful Good -- Avoid posting if you've nothing to contribute to the thread topic.

It has a similiar writing pattern and was quite amusing, too.

Seriously, Ren, your scepticism is hurtful sometimes. I wish you could just trust some people a bit more. One wrong and all is lost? Following the logic of Errare humanum est, you seem to be terribly inhuman.

I have it! Ren is a sentient robot!

Leave the poor guy alone. He payed 5 bucks for the bundle, so what? I'm pretty sure ALOT of people bought it for 0.01, just because they could.

He did better than alot of people...
