Pirates, ye be warned

Well, in response to the sudden proliferation of blog spam on sites that I frequent, I have taken it upon myself to beef up defenses here. Ironically, civil liberties are the first thing to go. I am declaring martial law to protect my guests.

[George W. voice on] It's a new kinda war, ya see... and, and, and... we are making progress. These new measures that I have... implemented... will make the blogger community safer, ya see. It will require ...that the blogger community... uh... make sacrifices.

Yeah, what he said. [rolls eyes] Though I can't be as eloquent as he, I can tell you that I have removed anonymous posting from the site, a tragic casualty of my new war. I will exercising right to delete any suspicious posts from my blog. Things like "I really like your site, check out my new line of blenders" will be turned into puree on sight.

I'm not sure if this new threat is an automated assault or unscrupulous individuals. If I am actually speaking to the latter, please know that I equate you with pimps, dime store golf hustlers, and ambulance-chasing lawyers. You are the poorest of salesmen, a rat that will do anything to survive. I would love nothing more than to kick you in the balls for adulterating the online experience.

Now, I haven't even seen one on this site yet. Some might say that I'm over-reacting. This kind of guerilla capitalism is distasteful in the extreme to me though. There is a time and a place for everything. They can go hump the American Dream on their own blogs, living life in pursuit of Mammon. Here certain things are held in higher regard.
