I have my doubts that the "spam" term really applies very well, except to the extent there is concern for those members who are posting twitter links, without any of their own comments or analysis... so and the accusation is that they are doing that and receiving merits for largely non-substantive posts from members like me (and I suppose in the case of this thread, I am considered to be the problem for rewarding those little merit begging twats... hahahahaha).. which admittedly, I do send smerits to them sometimes, even though I would prefer some comments and/or analysis, but there are even senior forum members who contribute something close to the same level of garbage and receive merits mostly for their longevity and the fact that they have made previous good substantive and contributory posts.


Yes.  You are doing such a "great job" with suppressing your desires to keep me out of your head.
