Who is really sick out there? (a rant)
Oct 26th 2008PostmasterUncategorized
I’ve been posting here for quite a while, sharing my personal stories and feelings and hoping that my thoughts can help others who have cancer as well as their loved ones. It is something that I feel is important and something that I will continue to do for as long as I can.
So why is it that I spend so much time every week cleaning out hundreds of spam messages that flood my comments inbox? I filter all of my comments so as not to pollute this site with this kind of garbage, but you wouldn’t believe that stuff that comes through. This is a site dealing with cancer, yet I get comments on animal sex, countless drugs, grow-your-penis supplements, credit counselling, and all manner of innane things. I get comments saying, “Great site, webmaster” which means nothing to me and I wonder why anyone would bother posting something so meaningless to random sites. Lately, I’ve been getting comments in what looks like Russian!
I’ll never understand what motivates people to randomly attack thousands of websites and email accounts with meaningless or malicious garbage. But I really have a problem when they attack sites like this that are here only to help others. I know I can’t do anything about it, beyond filter it out for you, but I have to ask, “Who is really sick out there?”
Just ranting……..
