Why are you posting this on every thread? It’s starting to be spam.

Your use of the word “spam” is perjorative and incorrect. Looking for a somewhat current definition of “spam” I went to http://spam.abuse.net/overview/whatisspam.shtml

“What is spam?
Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it.”

While I have posted the same message at various places, they were all critiqueing Obama, thus on topic. I did not do so indiscriminately. As long as there is a thread of thematic correlation on a discussion board, “force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it.” would not seem to apply. If you applied another rule of application, i.e., that it offend someone, this discussion board would be empty.

If you can lead me to a rule on this discussion board that I violated, I will gladly submit my apology and comply.
