And if that complaint results in the rule "no bots on IRC," she wins.
She has co-workers who are ignoring how their thoughtless behaviour is impacting her, even after she's told them. She'd be entirely justified taking it to HR, but instead she's social engineering a more subtle solution. Nice work!

No, maturity and people with refined senses of humor win :)
I think having that phrase repeated to the extent of making a bot is idiotic, I think her solution is far more entertaining to read, and I am irritated by unalone's suggestion that "that's what she said" unequivocally objectifies women.
That's all of my feelings for this thread.

Ok: her colleagues disrespect her enough to ignore her request for them to stop doing something that makes her uncomfortable. Doesn't matter what the behaviour is, it should at least be addressed. Basic issue of respect for one's co-workers.
See you around. ",)
Maybe those guys do hate equality, but from my perspective I would have been irritated by TWSS and then more irritated by the responder, I might then decide to complain before anyone else gets the bright idea to make another bot talking to a bot.
