A bully will use anything that seems likely to hurt and provoke, he doesn’t really care what.

There's a thin line between schoolboy/dark humor and bullying.

I'd argue that playing with a bot belongs to the first category, but that's a subjective take.

Would that logic apply to people who joke about topics like death?

A lot of comedians would be demonized under such logic.

Unfortunate that on HN one gets labeled in such a derogatory manner for advancing an argument.

Sorry, I am not understanding what you mean here. For my understanding, how do you think the guidelines should be applied here?

Oops, my bad. Racist labeling on HN is allowed.
