Personally I don't think the replies to itself provide much extra entertainment. As far as I'm concerned, turning it off would be totally fine.
If pimp's client can't parse HTML entities, it won't be able to parse enhancements from #36 either (read: pimp should get a proper jabber client).
This is an issue entirely because because pimp is using a terrible jabber client, but he has complained more than once now.

So the easiest way to do this is to stop the bot from responding to itself. I had hoped that leaving it on would lead to ~emergent behaviour~ but it's almost always detrimental. That said, there are a few commands where it is not detrimental: the z0r and lion chains, pickone, and chasesay. That hints that there is a better way of doing this than a total ban, possibly as an option to
@botcmd
. Given that we already want to modify@botcmd
for pm replies, this might not be too much more work.
