When I was a teenager back in the 90s, one of the first people I met online was a bulimic girl from Indiana with a distorted view of her body. I was interested in programming and taught myself to write scripts for the Windows IRC client mIRC. She would constantly mention how "fat" she thought she was. I would always dutifully respond "No, you aren't fat", naively thinking that might help her condition. One day I decided to automate this process. I created an event handler when the word "fat" was said that would perform /msg $$1 "no, you aren't fat". However, I failed to add a variable delay in seconds, so it was quickly obvious to her that it was automated. She was a smart woman, so she wrote a simple loop like: while(1) { /msg redwards510 fat } and executed it. This would cause us both to instantly get disconnected due to "Excess Flood". I decided to disable it after that.
