		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1527&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Another Twitterer&lt;/a&gt;: OMG. Admins can see what you enter as your name, email address and URL. &quot;Will not be published&quot; means it won&#039;t be made public. Ask anyone who runs a WordPress powered blog.

Yeah sure, that blog isn&#039;t yours. Well if I were you then I would deny it too after I saw those sick posts.</description>

		<description>Unsurprisingly, you&#039;ve still got it wrong.

The twitter account &quot;nunya&quot; has nothing to do with me. The only place you would have gotten that is in the fake email address I&#039;ve submitted with my posts. You know, in the &quot;will not be published&quot; field above. I&#039;d bet your three readers are glad to know you can&#039;t be trusted with that.

My tweets are protected and always have been. Which you would know had you not just, without looking, followed a thousand random people in your attempt to whore for attention and traffic.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1519&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Another Twitterer&lt;/a&gt;: That&#039;s good that you blocked me. Good job! 

There&#039;s nothing wrong in adding a few people. I didn&#039;t know you were in the list of people I added. If I knew that you were gonna try to harass me by calling me &quot;spammer&quot; then I would have blocked you ASAP.

And WTF are you talking about? You&#039;re email does not get published on this blog or any other blog powered by WordPress. Ask anyone who runs a blog or comments on a blog.

Like I said before, whatever makes you happy. I&#039;m a &quot;spammer&quot; and there is nothing wrong with you. You blog about things that people in their right mind wouldn&#039;t even think about doing. Maybe that&#039;s why you&#039;re so bitchy.

Telermarketing? Alcholism? Talking from your own experience? Because it sounds like that.

BTW, you don&#039;t even use Twitter. Your last tweet was made 2 months ago. You&#039;re just taking the chance to bitch at someone.</description>

Thanks, but I already blocked you. Just as soon as I looked at your account and realized you were yet another follow spammer.

You&#039;re the one who came around bothering me, asking to follow my protected tweet stream, so don&#039;t act like this is something out of the blue. And yes, if I have protected them, it means I don&#039;t want people to care about them. Duh.

Also, good work on the retarded Sherlock Holmes imitation. Of course I didn&#039;t give you my real email address or username in the box above. Mailinator.com is a public drop box I use with the untrustworthy. Which you are clearly among given that you will reveal the &quot;will not be published&quot; stuff whenever you feel like it. Good to know that not only do you act like a spammer, but you&#039;ve got the brains and integrity of one, too.

Sure, the problem is with me. Which is why Twitter is changing the software so that people can&#039;t act like you&#039;re acting. Just keep telling yourself the problem is with other people, and you&#039;ll have a long career ahead of you in telemarketing. And later, alcoholism. Enjoy!</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1487&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Another Twitterer&lt;/a&gt;: Fine then whatever makes you happy. If I&#039;m &quot;spamming&quot; then stop following me and hit that block button, and stop bitching and flapping like a frigin headless chicken. How about that?

Or are you just jealous because no one gives a crap about your tweets and they follow my &quot;spam&quot;? Hmm maybe it is. Huh, &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/nunya&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;nunya&lt;/a&gt;?

I&#039;m just using Twitter for fun and you&#039;re just going into bitch-mode because I&#039;m following too many people. Like wow. 

Holy shit! You talk about how much you like sex and how you like to do it on your blog. That is just sick! Maybe I can see the problem now. The problem isn&#039;t me or Twitter. It&#039;s YOU!</description>

		<description>That is exactly the same line I heard from email spammers for years. &quot;If people don&#039;t want it, they can hit delete! I&#039;m providing them a valuable opportunity! The Internet is about freedom and connecting people!&quot; All self-serving horse shit.

Telling me what I&#039;m supposed to find annoying is pure arrogance. Like every marketroid ever, you have a hard time telling the difference between what you want and what other people want. You want to bug people so you can cream in your jeans over your traffic spike. They want to be left alone, not spammed.

And yes, it&#039;s spam. Check out these links, for example:

http://mashable.com/2008/04/14/twitter-spam-out-of-control/
http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/topics/how_would_you_prefer_to_report_twitter_spam
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/12/twitters-2000-follow-limit-raises-a-ruckus-but-how-many-people-can-you-seriously-keep-track-of-anyway/
http://blog.twitter.com/2008/08/making-progress-on-spam.html

When rafts of users, major bloggers, and Twitter themselves call it spam, it&#039;s spam, no matter how much spammers like yourself will try to claim otherwise.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1481&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Another Twitterer&lt;/a&gt;: We&#039;re free to do whatever we want on these sites. And do you know what spam really is? Adding a bunch of people on Twitter is not spam. Well actually it could be considered spam if I added those people and started really spamming them.

Did you even see how many self-promoting tweets I made? Did you see how many self-promoting tweets popular bloggers made? Each and everyone of their tweet is linking to their post. I just made 2 or 3, so that we can start a discussion.

I&#039;m sorry that you feel I&#039;m &quot;spamming&quot; you. Like I said before micro-blogs are like a huge party. You go there talk to as many people as you want. You can make friends with as many people as you want. But, its only annoying if the person keeps on talking about his/her site, product or service.</description>

		<description>@th13rteen:

It&#039;s not the number of tweets you make that&#039;s the problem. It&#039;s &quot;following&quot; a zillion people who you aren&#039;t even interested in following, just so you get a bunch of people to follow you back. All so you can build your precious, precious traffic.

That might possibly have been clever a year ago, but now it&#039;s just spam, and Twitter is limiting the number of follows allowed precisely because of this.

I made my updates private months ago, and I still get two or three follow requests a day from self-promotional yutzes like yourself. For every one legitimate request, I get circa 10 spammy ones. It&#039;s as annoying as hell, and I&#039;m amazed that every time we get a new medium, somebody can still manage to be doe-eyed and innocent about spamming.</description>
