Spam and deception. What makes people do these things?
Every day I have to empty a number of messages out of my spam boxes. They are irritating and annoying.
I cannot for the life of me think why people send this stuff. They fall into a number of categories.
- There are adverts for all manner of goods. Would any sane person click on one of these products and buy them? Even if you wanted the thing you’re not going to purchase it off a cold call.
- Right now I have someone who is leaving weighty medical tracts on my blog – about 10 a day. I’ve had to block their IP so that they all go directly into trash.
- There are all manner of sex services, products and relationship organisations. Likewise – if you wanted to purchase sex, products, operations or join a partnership scheme would you do so from one of these? I doubt it.
- There are scams which want you to put in your bank details. Is anyone that stupid?
- The one that I can’t figure out are the others leaving meaningless messages saying they like your blog, or want to set up their own or like the layout, or just a big section of gobbledegook. What is that all about?
- Then there are the people who pretend to be friends just so that they can deceive you with flattery and try to make a fool of you. They don’t like what you say or stand for but pretend to. Why go to all that trouble?
People are strange.
This minority of anti-social or destructive people create huge problems for the rest of us. Just think how nice and simple the world would be if we didn’t have to put in expensive police, security checks and all the anti-theft paraphernalia. It would all be so much quicker, cheaper, faster and better.
The tiny percentage of criminals, psychologically disturbed, violent and malicious people create disproportionate problems for the rest of us.
What we need is a Love Gun that puts their brains right!
