Re: Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT

That being said, informing those, who may not be paying attention, that there is a hazard in the area is prudent.

Again, I'm not for yelling "ROBOT" all the time, but I refuse to sign a petition that will keep me from alerting an otherwise oblivious person to a clear and present danger.
Sorry for pulling a strawman. my friends and i use that one too much, we will accuse each other positions until we sort it out. I guess it lends itself to making jokes at each other expense instead of actually making an point. Well enough of the red herring about red herrings.

Well I see your position a bit more clearly. To avoid putting more words in your mouth are you saying your reserving your right to yell to prevent a sudden accident or more of a general alert of the proximity of the robot?

I think Sanddrag intent in his original post to eliminate a need of using "Robot" as a siren or alarm. The need to alert someone immediately prevent an accident is not what this petition is about. there is no need for the continual reminders of robot presence. Shouting something to avoid a fall or collision is not what i am trying to address.
