Don't you mean Web *catechism*, not cataclysm?  
Or were you warning us that your web site is a _disaster_?

I'd be more impressed with your vocabulary if you actually knew
the meanings of those words.

I *know* I'm going to regret asking this, but...

WHO is granting all of these "rights" to robots?  You?

Why should robots have some "rights" not even granted to humans?

YOU didn't pass the Turing test!  Therefore you aren't a person,
and I don't have to deal with you any more.

Have you made up a right exempting you robots from kill filters?
PLONK!
