The first clause can definitely be explained a bit better on the wiki though.

being called a tool is kind of demeaning, don't you think

i just think there can be a medium between it  being meant as a punishment and silicon enjoyers such as myself and other posters in the thread

I feel like you're looking a little too into what I'm saying.  Cyborgs are people that playing the game, just as humans and certain monkeys and clowns are.  It goes without saying.  But you're also playing a role where, at the beginning of the round at least, you have to do things another group says.  You'll generally be treated like another person unless you're being told to follow the obvious antag law that the obvious antag put into your laws, and that is how it should be.  But gameplay wise, as far as the average human is concerned Cyborgs are tools to them.

It's not something the average person considers cyborg players.  Which is good, because if the average Human treated the average Cyborg like that it would be insufferable.  But I won't ignore how Cyborgs as a role are on the rules.
