Spam THIS!

Even while worsened eyesight and the latest leg crisis combine with other responsibilities to keep me away from my writing, including this blog, the international spammers have kept passing but constant attention to the blog. Real readers wouldn’t notice, because most of my actions have been to delete the link spam posted as comments.
The spam is obvious to me on so many levels. I’m not pounded soft by the empty and insincere compliments to how well written an article is or how I must be an authority on "this topic." I’m not taken in by compliments to the appearance or layout and do not feel the need to give free coaching to people asking what software I use to create the blog. I’m not even going to address the people who post with the advice that the blog needs "more" pictures. This is a blog by and mostly for blind people.
Most of the link spam is posted anonymously. It makes me think back to an online conversation I had with fellow writer Brandon Bell when he was being harassed by someone posting anonymously to his blog. There have been a couple friends or readers who posted legitimately, and I do not want to limit them. I also believe that limited comments in any way can inadvertently lay a foundation for censorship. No one has to agree with me, we just need to disagree respectfully.
Censorship opposition aside, the idea of this blog is to force myself to communicate the experiences of vision loss and diabetes and the other problems that arise. Most of the questions friends and acquaintances have but feel impolite to ask can be answered here. Judging from search engine hits, many other people have gotten useful information among these posts. It’s not a commercial site. If I am not even trying to make money off of it, I see no reason to allow people across the world to post a pasted comments on my blog along with who knows how many other, just so they can end with a link to their commercial sites that hawk things like trick teas, rascally raspberries, gimmicks for overall weight loss or specific weight gain solely to the penis, supplements and non-American approved drugs, cosmetics, prostitution, and the worst among others, boner pills. Do these assholes really think I will allow boner pill links when I have maintained the most frequent label tag as "Cialis = Blindness"?
The spam filters here work very well, and what garbage they do miss, I am quick to delete.
