I Truly DESPISE Spammers

12th November, 2008: Posted by glpease in Site News

There are no words  strong enough, no punishment sufficient, no fiery hole deep enough for those whose contemptable little lives are spent making other people’s on-line experience miserable; hacking websites, clogging the plaque-packed arteries, the  “Tangled-up Tubes” of the internet with SPAM, or flooding BLOG driven content, like this one, with nonsense comments, just to be funny. Word.

Cutting off their hands with a dulled, serrated bread knife would be kindness in comparison with the sort of torment I would choose to visit upon these infantile, narcissistic ass-hats if I was King of the World. Boiling oil comes to mind. Drawing and quartering. Keel-hauling under the hull of a ship festooneed with very large barnacles. All of the above.

Why the tirade? Simple. Every once in a while, my News page, and the Briar & Leaf Chronicles are “noticed” by some pre-pubescent malcontent, who will flood the articles with nonsense comments. Right. Real cute. I’ve just spent the last half hour “moderating” a bunch of these comments out of existence. Unfortunately, I’ve also been forced change the settings of the engine to allow only registered and logged-in users to comment on the posts. Sorry for the inconvenience, but the only real alternative was to shut comments off altogether, which would be a shame. I always appreciate reading others’ thoughts.

So, at least for now, if you’d like to leave your comments, you’ll have to register and sign in. I am truly sorry for this inconvenience, and, please believe me that it’s not because I don’t want to hear from you.

Anyone know where I can get a badly barnacled vessel that will stand up to floating in some very hot oil? I’m off to dull my bread knife, just in case…
