Or, we could learn to do brief history searches and check out past user comments if it really matters.

I'm generally pretty suspicious of any sort of computer-generated personality profiles, and though I understand the appeal to techies of empathy-as-a-service I don't think it's something we should consider relying upon.

Hell, half the fun in life is trying to figure out who other people really are.

I'm sitting on a sleepy but full Tokyo train and laughed out loud... those glassholes don't have a chance do they.
