Yeah, people tend not to like being called out much. It hasn't happened to me here yet, so we'll see how I react to it when it inevitably does, but here, where everyone knows more or less what everyone else is doing, it shouldn't be a surprise that it can happen.
At the same time, I'm pretty sure this wasn't what the guy who wrote "How to win friends and influence people" had in mind. :) Of course, he didn't have bots to deal with, either.
