A human aggressively taking a particular line and a bot doing so may be equivalent; do we need to differentiate there?

If the comment is off-topic/breaking the guidelines/rules, it should be removed, full stop.

The difference is that the bots comment should be removed regardless if the particular comment is breaking the rules or not, as HN specifically is a forum for humans. The humans comment, granted it doesn't break the rules, shouldn't, no matter how shitty their opinion/view is.
