So clearly, Zoe either, by coincidence put her infinite block in moments after the "bot" hit "Z", or she deliberately waited for some reason. Apparently, she gave Fplay 60 seconds to reply and then used her priviledges to block him forever. That was not a serious attempt at dialog. Why she did not wait longer? Did she fail to recognize that the robot had ceased or did she deliberately wait? She was certainly aware that it was doing no meaningful harm (and let us not waste our human bandwidth arguing about "system resources"). By her own admission, she knew for certain that there was not danger because, despite her other limitations, she was able to recognize that the edits were minor.

Did Zoe know that the "robot" was finished before sending her first message? It seems as if she should have.

Is 60 seconds a serious effort at dialog?
