Political Spam and a Freelance Writer’s Site
By
I am almost entirely indifferent to your 'Tea Parties'
As you can imagine, my website attracts a lot of spammy contents, more often than not from the usual suspects, such as penile enhancement, Viagra, and my apparent lack of a hot chick (My other half reads my posts, so I have to careful what I say here). Throw in a few SEO companies seeking cheap backlinks, and my anti-spam program (Akismet) works overtime.
I spend a lot of time stripping away links to the more questionable sites and, unfortunately, it means that I no longer bother replying to comments, simply because I am not sure if the comment is genuine or from one of the many spambots and comment factories that infiltrate the internet.
This Is A Freelance Writer’s Site
Recently, I have noticed an increase in comments from political and religious sites, warning me of the ‘Progressive Agenda’ infiltrating US politics and how ‘Barack Obama is the Antichrist.’ I have no idea if these comments are the result of automated programmes or if some poor sap is actually sitting down and typing out poorly written, grammatically incorrect posts and deciding that a freelance writer’s personal site is the place to hold a political conversation.
Maybe they see the long hair and assume that I am a liberal hippy, living off welfare and threatening to destroy the American Dream. Perhaps they are trying to save me from myself lest I end up in the depths of hell, spending all eternity listening to Celine Dion and eating nothing but Brussels sprouts, marmite, and celery.
So, to all you amateur political activists out there: I am British and live in Greece. I have no interest in the Tea Party or the Pinko-Commie, Atheist, Dolphin-Hating, Red Tide sweeping across America. I couldn’t care less about Obama’s move towards creating an Islamic States of America. We have enough problems of our own over here and I really don’t give a tinker’s cuss what happens in your country.
Sorry, but that’s the way it goes. This is may be a futile plea, but please stop wasting my time with idiocy and irrelevance.
