Little Dog in a Big World

For the past several months, the comments spam on this blog has been increasing.  The comments over the past couple of weeks have gotten more belligerent asking me why I have deleted the comments and then reposting them.  They also keep posting to my tribute to Sierra, who died last year.

This blog is set so that all comments are approved before posting.  While you (whoever you are) may think you are sly by posting a comment like “this post really gave me something to think about”, I am not approving it with a link to whatever you are selling.

It has been irritating to see the comments spam on the Sierra tribute posts.  It has also been annoying to come here and delete 50+ of these spammy things every day.  Therefore, I’ve decide all the posts relating to Sierra will no longer accept comments.  I am sure that this will only thwart these people briefly, but it will give me piece of mind.  For someone to comment on a dead pet’s tribute that the information “conflict with other things they’ve read” or “thanks, you setting an argument between me and my wife” is just plain mean spirited.

I will still allow newer posts to accept comments.  I don’t think I will find it nearly as disturbing to remove those spammy comments as it is to go to see them attached to Sierra’s tribute.

I apologize to any reader who this might inconvenience.  I know there are honest folks who have found themselves in a similar situation as I did with my dog and they might like to tell me about it.  Unfortunately, the spammer have ruined it for everyone.
