Have removed it.

I am interested in your side of this, maybe you could do an article about the piece itself and/or about this "incident" itself?

This assumes I guess that it was not just a bunch of random drivel aimed at increasing your word count, although even if that is in fact what it was you could do an article on it as a case study or even experiment on the alacrity with which the devtome community discovered or discovers spam/drivel.

Also I hope you retained a copy, there are applications for wordy drivel/blather. We could even insert into stories stuff about some author and/or novel so [something] that only [some species race or culture] can even manage to read through it all, and at some point after buildup publish (not necessarily on Devtome; heck we could even put it into a book in a virtual world / game or something) that as a tiny sample of just one chapter of that legendary work. Or whatever. (You think Vogon poetry is bad? Try a Vogon novel! Wink)

Since this planet, "the planet known as Earth", actually features in the Galactic Milieu if only as a fictional or mythical planet, you could also do an article based in the Milieu, talking about the Diary of Dan and/or its author as a character, either as one of those authors who like to use the literary conceit that they themselves are from "the planet known as Earth" or as a character in the huge body of myths and legends about that mythical planet. (Such as Heinlein, Asimov, Shakespeare, Dickens etc, all examples of famous mythical authors claimed to have been from that mythical planet.)
