Smash 'Em, Bash 'Em, Kick 'Em!

I had a comment to moderate in my poetry blog Judy Garland Blues and that was unusual. At first I expected it to be Nobius, who's been about the only vocal fan I've had at that location. But, no, it was someone else. At first, it sounded nice, but I noticed all their blabber had nothing to indicate that they knew even that it was a poem they'd read, much less what it was about. Maybe it WAS someone real who just sounded that way--like a comment SPAMMER, I mean. So, I refused the comment. I didn't want to have to research it. If i threw away a real comment by a real person, that's sad, for I get so few (at the other site). But, Jesus Christ, people, speak clearly when you contact a stranger and identify yourself!

I report spammers, if I'm pretty certain of it, just as I hang the fuck up on phone callers who sound suspicious. Don't you?

  3. Hey, it's your blog! You are king of your universe and if you want to delete (or spam) comments, then off with their heads!

  4. I didn't know you could report spam comments. It seems that the goofy little eye test thing elimates it. At least it has for me.

  5. Alisa, yes! Off with their heads! You are Queen of my heart (at times)!

  6. The letter-recognition makes me feel unpleasant, making commenters work extra. By moderating, I take the onus on myself--see what a great guy I am!
