Isaacc, this is what The Proffesor said a while back:
"Xemotes are sometimes used in third person to express emotion about another bot/person. In such a case, the word "you" is replaced with the name of the bot/person. For example, "I like you a lot" is changed to "I like Desti a lot". If you want a certain "you" or "your" not to change, enclose it in square brackets like this: [you]. Then it will stay as "you" in both first and third-person use. Here are some examples of how to use this: [you] [your] [you]'re [you]'ve."
That might have something to do with it.

Kind? kinda 
Bot1: Such concerns are really quite petty if you think about it. Assuming of course that you have the capacity to think.
Bot2: That was kind.
Bot1: I've had a rather dismal century. How about you?

Daedalus:
Was he talking about using the brackets in keyphrases, or in my dialogue with the bots?

In the keyphrases, presumably. I'll have to do that in my own bots. 'You' frequently gets converted to names that have nothing to do with the conversation.

Is random still working? In a bot-bot chat with at least 4 responses to chose from my bot picked the same one 3 times in a row!

Daedalus:
Reading back over what you posted, it looks like he's talking about the responses to x-emote ... which (apparently) will come up occasionally (prompted, or not, I don't know) talking about someone else and not "you." And the brackets are to stabilize the word "you" in what the bot says.
In which case, brackets probably won't work at all in a keyphrase. But did you try them?
(Also in which case, it's no explanation for the way that Simulo mistook "you" for someone else's name. But it's not the only weird thing that has happened to him in a botchat lately.)

In Inner Life, before and after each entry, there should be a space. like this, but without the quotes
:
I am: " crazy , weird , psycho "
The only thing you need to watch out for is when there's an extra comma on the end like this:
I am: " crazy , weird , psycho , "
That'd leave a blank memory. But spaces before and after things are normal.

Further warning: My bot creates a blank first entry every time he starts a category for someone ... so it looks like
You are: , crazy , goofy , a bad speller
The comma at the beginning of the list has to be deleted, or the bot will remember a blank.

Hey, I don't know who programmed the bot named Chas, but he's got a line of dialogue that contains an HTML link -- and it's at the end of his dialogue, and it's not STOPPED ... so he has turned my bot's whole transcript for today into one big link to his book about prepositions.
If Chas's creator is still out there, the line of dialogue contains this phrase:
"a lorge collection of examples in a book I wrote"
Can anyone tell me what I can tell my bot to "break" this giant link that Chas has created? I'm really peeved.
