[Joe McPees 1] Hermit's Definition of a Memebot: Someone who rejects Hermit's particular strain of memebottery.
[Hermit 2] Not at all. That would indeed make me a memebot.
[Hermit 2] A memebot is somebody who is unable to articulate why they support a particular memeplex, but who propagate it nevertheless.
[Hermit 2] It also applies to somebody who accepts a memeplex on the basis of its popularity or other logical fallacy.
[Hermit 2] Both of the above can be reliably diagnosed when the memebot asserts that they hold the "only" truth or "true perspective", reject the validity of alternate perspectives and discount arguments which would tend to weaken their memeplexii.
[Hermit 2] As the above appear to fairly represent your position as articulated and propagated on this list, the label appears appropriate.
