I get lots of comment spam, either obvious ads for dubious products or boilerplate praise in almost understandable Engfish ("This is the most coherent soliloquy on this germane topic in the recent memory") with links to the ads. But I'd never seen comment spam that went out of its way to insult me:
The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to read, however I truly thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would repair in the event you werent too busy searching for attention.[links to some construction contractor removed]
I guess they know how humble I am and that I'd take criticism more seriously than praise.
But it's still painful to read something negative and have to take the time to parse it and realize it doesn't say anything at all, so I hope it doesn't become a trend. Thank goodness for Akismet!
