Dear Yahoo! Answers Visitors…

Dear Yahoo! Answers Visitors–

I’m sorry to hear that someone is spamming Yahoo! Answers.

Please understand that just because a web site links to mine does not mean that I am somehow responsible for their site or their actions.

The web site linked in the spam you are getting is a WordPress installation, which includes links to a few sites by default. Mine is one of them.

Please stop sending me e-mails like:

From: benihana@yahoo.com
Subject: yahoo answers

You are a fucking asshole. Yoiu shitheads and your goddamned bots flooding the place with your goddamned shit. Go to fucking hell, dick for brains.

and:

From: epl@aol.com
Subject: Fuck You

Fuck you for pulling this shit on the Yahoo answer page. Tak you and your shitty web page and shove it up your ass.

Etc., etc.

This type of language is uncalled for, ignorant, and not at all productive towards a solution for you. Thank you.

Your gracious host,
–Alex King

    My understanding, from some folks who have been less rude than ‘xsitin’ there (your reading comprehension - or lack thereof - is remarkable, xsitin), is that the links are to logabc.com which is a WordPress install and links to this site (not that the links are to this site directly).

    Either way, I have had no involvement in this.

    Maybe it’s time to throw a rule in there to send all “referred by logabc.com” visitors right back to logabc.com.

    That xsitin… What an asshole. I doubt his/her ability to read. It’s amazing how he/she was able to string a few words together, type them and hit the “add comment” button.

    I am sorry to see you are getting such aggressive and rude emails from such “Yahoo’s”. I and many other WordPress users appreciate all the hard work that you have put in to the Blogging community.

    Everyone is aware of how frustrating getting spammed is but the extreme reactions of some, forming personal attacks against what is clearly neither the source of, nor an advocate of, spam is eye opening. I hope that this blows over soon and that people begin to realise that they are in the wrong.

    As for the personal attacks and name-calling, just use the delete button! :-) Keep up the good work!

    This is for the yahoo website owners !
    You are a total creeps and jerks, money grabing and shit greedy bastards.
    I dont care for my rude language toward you, because you really pissed me off.
    You blocked all free e-cards ( firstly you dwindled them down to 2 -3 and now “nothig” just empty squares saying “you may write as many words as you wish”, but there is no picture in the empty space ) and your site is full of crap “flash games” click on it shit, etc…..etc……. whole site full of shiting ads……..
