DG, you mentioned on another thread that the Rudygogaga fans don't spam here, or very rarely do. So, what do you call it when Fair Opinion and areafiftyone come here day after day posting dozens of articles in favor of RINO Rudy? My definition of spam is when liberals come here and post a gazillon articles promoting their candidate on a forum where a good 70% of it's members have indicated that they do not support Rudy. Most of us here are conservatives and we really don't care to see this liberal propaganda posted here 24/7 (I know it's allowed, but it's unwanted). It would seem to me that if a majority of the people here don't support Rudy, and yet these two individuals continue to post articles that the majority of us find irritating and unwanted, that would be considered spam.

Explain to me, if you will, why you don't consider the ceaseless posting of pro-Rudy articles spam, but everything that's posted by our side is called spam?

Call me crazy, but my definition of spam is THE EXACT SAME POST being posted here endlessly. Like narses is doing right now on this thread.

New articles are not spam. They may be boring or annoying, but they're not spam.

If you're posting the EXACT DAMN THING you've posted 20 times before, that's spam.

Wow - what a spin. You could try out for a liberal(s). Spam has a definition - it is posting the exact same thing over and over. Posting new articles on the same subject is not spam.

And - you are free to not click on Rudy threads. Imagine that(s).

Ping to post 47, where dmw was badmouthing you behind your back, without the customary courtesy ping to you.

Apparently dmw can't tell the difference between posting different new articles, about someone who IS news, vs. others posting the identical 30 year old spam on every thread.

For example, a search of Google News using "Giuliani" produced 11,284 articles.


http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=giuliani&btnG=Search+News

Results 1 - 10 of about 11,284 for giuliani. (0.21 seconds)


I guess some people would like to classify legitimate news areticles, if it involves Giuliani, as "spam".
