Robo Harassment

by Justin Tyme

Let me put a question to our readers. How would you feel if a complete stranger came up to you and forcefully asked you to speak in a different way?

How would you feel if you were minding your own business, when suddenly, strangers attacked you and performed surgery without your permission?

Far fetched? These things dont happen in Galaxy City you cry. However, for a proporation of our population this type of thing is a regular occurence day by day.

If you happen to be a Robot or an electronic being you have to put up with this kind of behaviour day in, day out . Not only from new heroes, but from those who with their expierance should know better.

I witnessed an example of this behaviour in Galaxy Girl Plaza on Friday 22nd April. I happened to be chatting with Charlie Sparks (who readers know is a regular columnist for the P&T), when my eyes where drawn to a disturbance a few yards away involving the scotbot MB-2 and a hero whose name I am ashamed to published in the P&T, but will be refered to as Hero V.

The upshot of the disturbance was that Hero V had taken a dislike to MB-2 rich and resonate scottish accent and was trying toattempting to forcibly access MB-2 programing interface and (I hope I do not shock my readers) to intellectualy rape MB-2 .
