Ok, I'm no expert on this, like I said the whole thing blew up so quickly.

I know they weren't all verbatim repeats, but I'm also pretty sure I saw tweets from tay without an @ symbol.

Another thing to consider is that since the Tay timeline was scrubbed, there is no authoritative source of what the bot actually tweeted, so any images floating around could pretty clearly be doctored.

But regardless, it's nice that everyone seems to be regarding this in good humour, it's kind of surprising there aren't any SJWs calling for the head of Bill Gates, but maybe that would be botist or something.

There was only like a grand total of three tweets that didn't start with an @mention, and I think they were manually added by the team.
