Yes, they are usually automated bots rather than actual people, but someone is running those bots and if their bots leave stupid comments then, by extension, cannot the people running those bots be considered stupid?

Anyway, it’s odd the comments you get sometimes.

Had a spam comment from a post a few days back. The comment, which has nothing to do with the post itself, is seemingly from someone complaining about posts being put up in the wrong forum and how he or she wishes people would comment in the “proper” forum.

Um, this is a blog, not a forum.

If your spambot cannot tell the difference between a blog and a forum, that right there is a pretty crummy spambot.

That spam comment was on my “Jedi Horses Run Free” post, which also attracted horse website comment spammers.

As you may remember (or can see by checking the link), that was just a silly rhyme. Yet, the horse website comment spammers thank me for the useful post. LOL.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Oh, and then there was the comment spammer that said my post was one of the better blog posts they’ve read in a long while. Oh, I would be so flattered if they hadn’t posted that same message on like five different posts, at least one of which was utter nonsense.

Comment spammers are annoying and the world would be better without them. In the meantime, at least we can get some entertainment out of them.
