Excerpt: Adam Kalsey shut down a comment spammer, who then proceeded to threaten Adam & try and defend himself by saying it was his competition plugging his site. Yeah sure it was.

Brilliant, as well as useless. Nothing short of an intelligent virus that will wipe out all spammers from the face of earth will do them. But thanks for the effort, anyways.
