TYRONE, HONEY, I'VE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YOU
I really love it when people comment on my posts. It means that I am having some effect, one way or the other. I have read of other bloggers who have gotten spam in their comments and of all the hassles they have had to go through to stop it. Luckily, that hasn't been a problem for me.
I have had two instances of spam remarks. One was for a porno sight featuring pix of horny grannies and for some reason (who's kidding who here?) I deleted it. The second I received yesterday. From Tyrone.
Blogroll me back http://provident****news.****.com/****.xml
(DON'T CLICK THE LINKS, THEY WON'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE)
It was nice of the young man to ask me to Blogroll him back. I thought here is another guy who finds my particular wit and wisdom irresistible and feels that he, too, has something to "share" with me. Not being such a link whore that I would just jump right on the invitation, I decided to check out what Tyrone had to offer. Well, here comes the message to Tyrone:
TYRONE:
Honey, it was really nice of you to show interest in my blog and offer me a chance to give you exposure on mine. But, Tyrone, I was extremely disappointed when I checked out your blog and discovered that it was a religious tract that definitely was not at all related to any of my postings. Okay, I put a picture of the pope up with a pitcher of beer, but that's it. And, to top things off, you don't even have a Blogroll on your page, so you were lying to me when you intimated that I would be blogrolling you "back."
Now, darlin', here's how it goes. I don't want your stinkin' religious spam in my comments section. My majors in college were Philosophy and Religious Studies. Thanks for offering to furnish some Bible Study areas of YOUR religious beliefs, but, at this point in time, it's a little redundant and I have my own syllabus for dealing with my spirituality.
I have nothing against Religion...I do have issues with: religious bigots, proselytizers, and people who disrespect other's search for spirituality. My spirituality is my business and will be dealt with privately by me. If you, however, are interested in which direction it lies, look at the miracle occurring in the bottom photo and think about it. Or, throw on some gospel music, you know, some really rockin' spirituals, jump up, clap your hands and shout it out!
I've said this the nicest way possible. Please, take it with that intent.
Thank you,
Princess
PS: Don't make me get up in your face about this!

bravo, dear. may I contact you if and when I have similar problems? :}
by the way, please blogroll me at http:\\deadu.....
just kidding.
LOL nice one and I BEd by yesterday and saw the Pope and beer was quite funny!
Nice letter. I hate it when religion comes knocking on my door. I always tell them that I am not interested in discussing religion with strangers. And then I get mean if they don't leave.
Makes ya' just want to reach out and touch someone ...
hard ...
with the back of your hand.

A very appropriate letter to the commenter. I think you were right on with that one. Way to go!
witty and clever. i like the cut of your jib my blog friend. great letter.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH----Nicely Done I agree completely. Several of the people I work with constantly try to convert me. Everything bad is "God's Will". I bow to your way with words, and you tell em, sister.
ugh. I hate when ANYONE asks me to blogroll them back. If I like your blog, I'll blogroll it. No pressure please!!
yea, whats with the reciprocation shit! grrrrrrr
Ugh!!! I'm always suspect of a comment that just says "Hi! Nice blog! I've linked you!" and nothing else. But I'm also pretty suspect of a lot of things...including the Complimenting Commenter. Sorry!!! ;)
It's really getting nuts-I have been slammed with ethno-porno links almost nonstop-I have to rewrite the filter 5 times a day.
If I knew the phone numbers of these bastards, I'd get a demon dialer and scream "RECONSTITUTION!!!" into their ears over and over for hours on end. Or till I got put in jail, at least ;)
"Thanks for offering to furnish some Bible Study areas of YOUR religious beliefs, but, at this point in time, it's a little redundant and I have my own syllabus for dealing with my spirituality."
excellent comment and, at least in my perspective, right on...
the story of MY life -
religious people believe in hell; spiritual people have already been there...
