I hate spam. Unfortunately, most comments are pure spam, be they long lists of links trying to sell porn, fake prescription drugs, insurance, or any number of fake companies, or even affiliates for legitimate companies that don’t really care how their services and products are promoted, so long as they get sales. A lot of spam comments contain a generic paragraph praising the content (without saying anything about it) with a link back to some sort of site.

Neither you, dear reader, nor I should click links in any kind of spam, as it can lead to malware taking over your computer, stealing your identity, emptying out your bank account, etc. I know I could edit out those links, leaving only the true comment text. But despite the fact that the text of such spam may sound good (in its own bland, half-interested way), I’d seriously rather have no comments than fake ones.

Heck, I could write my own comments if I wanted to.

So all the fake comments go into the spam folder and stay there until I delete them.

I know it’s mostly bots, not real people, especially since this blog doesn’t have many outside links.

But I know sometimes real people do this kind of thing. I have special fantasies about torturing people who vandalize blogs in this way.

Do you fantasize about doing mean things to people who send spam? Do you ever think about how satisfying it would be to torture such a person, and how richly they deserve it? Call me, we can play this roleplay out as a team!
