Spam
Curly,
One of our members appears to be posting inane and incomprehensible spam. Or at least I can't understand them. Can this problem be addressed in some way?

Re: Spam
Ditto...knock it off with this mindless rambling of whatever you're posting Mr. G...or is there a point to all this spam that I'm not seeing?...

Re: Spam
we've had nonsense postings before...and these ring similar to me. Could it be the same person? Or does nonsense just ring the same to me every time? (was this nonsense in itself?)
Just edited in to add that when I wrote that, I had only seen a couple of the spam postings...they were actually so many they almost made me miss a post I truly enjoyed reading.
I'm not sure the author of such posts is ever going to read this, or understand where we're coming from with this (he/she'll probably just think is right anyway and we're the closed minded ones), but there's a sense of politeness and consideration for others that's lacking when you just assume that you have 10+ threads of useful information to dispense at once. I also cannot wrap my mind around those long threads of someone just multiple-posting on the same thread they created without input from others. I guess forum masturbating makes as much of a mess as regular one

Good grief, Prophet. You're right. That's exactly what it is. Although, there's another possibility. I seem to recall on an earlier posting that was a little more rational that he said something about being high.

LOL...good one, Prophet...and being 'high' would explain it, too...my guess is he's forum masturbating while he's high...hopefully the effects will wear off...otherwise, I recommend the GLP forum for Mr. G's communications skills...me thinks that forum would be right up his alley in appreciating his line of posting...

Oh good, I thought it was just me the grim Mr. Grimley was irritating the hell out of...... For God sake don't point him at GLP. That place has already sunk about as low as it can go, he would just add a new level of mediocrity.
CURLY!!! Where are you when you're needed?

I believe Mr Grimley has decided to take a little holiday.

PS: Under normal circumstances getting high on natural substances would not cause this. Maybe mushrooms, no experience with them, but what the hell............ Clinton didn't inhale. Neither did Monica fortunately. Maybe he should have.

It's not the drugs, it's the morons on drugs that are the real problem.
