			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hate spam as much as the next person.  No, not that crap our grandmothers tried to pass off as meat, (I hate that too, but that&#8217;s a different post).  I&#8217;m talking about those stupid emails and blog comments that people send out in an attempt to get people to buy their crap.  Now this post isn&#8217;t about the email spam, it&#8217;s about the stupid BS that people try to pass off as real comments on my blogs.</p>
<p>I have 5 different blogs, but my <a href="http://thepromptwriter.com">writing prompt blog</a> gets about 25 to 30 spam comments a day.  And I&#8217;m just weird enough that I actually go in and read them before I tell Akismet (or as I like to call it, Ass Kiss Met) to kick em out.  So, this post is dedicated to the dorks, morons, and idiots who actually think that I&#8217;m going to fall for their BS and let their spam comments to get through.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is that most of them crack me up.  For instance, when I get 5 comments in a row that all say the exact same thing, and from 5 different email addresses, do you really think I&#8217;m gonna see that as real?  Not a chance, my friend.</p>
<p>Then there are the comments that say things like, &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad I found your insightful article while searching for this issue in Google&#8221;.  Then I look to see which post the comment is linked to and it&#8217;s posted to go to my site disclaimer, or worse, my contact page.  Excuse me, what issue were you looking for?????</p>
<p>But, my all time favorite spam comments from <a href="http://thepromptwriter.com">my writing prompt site</a> have to be the ones that say things like, &#8220;I left a comment once before but it must have been filtered into your spam file&#8221;.  Duh!!!!!!  Or the comments that say &#8220;I respect your opinion on this matter but think you should take the time to look at all sides of the issue&#8221;.  That one really cracked me up when I found out it was set to go with a post about October holidays.  Um, I&#8217;m sorry, I didn&#8217;t realize that posting a list of International holidays would be such a problem for someone who wanted to get their crap posted on my site.  LOL</p>
<p>I know there&#8217;s no real way to keep from getting stupid spam comments on any of my blogs.  So, rather than get all freaked out, I&#8217;ll just keep reading them and laughing at them, right before I hit the delete button.</p>
