Wow, slow down. You are taking spammers WAY too personally. While some are human, they are bots that search for keywords and deposit their spam on blog posts that match those topics. If you want them to stop, then kill that post. If you want the post to stay, then just be diligent. That’s what I do. The moment I write something about a credit card, the spam bots arrive in force. Luckily, we have Akismet helping to protect us. Just mark spam as spam so Akismet learns and we all benefit from the team effort.

My blog has at present writing 163 posts. Do you know what part of my blog that comment spammers always want to latch on to? It’s a page in the blog that discusses my blog’s security policy title Things I Won’t Discuss.
Anybody who takes the time to read this page will discover that it is a list of things I cannot discuss because discussing them will compromise the privacy of my personal information. Nowhere do I discuss my sex bed shortcomings, gambling, or hair loss. Yet all the spammers who try to get onto that page seemingly conclude that Things I Won’t Discuss is about nothing but those three topics.
I don’t think it’s possible to be as retarded as those spammers take me to be.
