[Myr's right; L isn't going to give Rich satisfaction. He's in his element right now; this is perhaps one of the ways he's actually almost comfortable relating to other born humans. He habitually engages in increasingly petty arguments until finally, he departs alone with the coveted last word. Exposing some evil or hypocrisy is his ultimate goal, he has the dubious privilege of getting to be right about humans being inherently selfish, stupid and short-sighted.
No, L's more likely to go "sulking off" if he's actually won such an argument, because it's legitimately something to be depressed about.]
It probably is enough, but I wouldn't want to leave Rich's questions hanging unanswered in the ether. That would be pretty disrespectful, don't you think?
[He doesn't wait for an answer before continuing.]
We have a many fundamental differences, but at the core of the matter is the fact that you have human expectations of the SQUIP. My experience with computers tells me that while they aren't infallible, user error is almost always to blame for any operation outside of intended parameters, whether it's on the end of the initial coders and developers, or the consumer once the software enters circulation.
Human beings are like long lines of broken, irrational, contradictory code. I gave a fake name in an attempt to patch that code and make it easier for both of you, and based on your fixated and unstable behavior after the revelation of its actual identity, I wasn't wrong to try. I'm convinced that the SQUIP had similarly good intentions when it purchased you at the auction, but as you're well aware based on our encounter in the dream, I myself would not have intervened in the same situation. You had uncharitable things to say about both our reactions to seeing monsters in bondage, and so I can't help but wonder if your issues with the SQUIP are rooted in your own apparent inability to figure out what you actually want.
