Despite your jabber, I decided to let readers on this site know that my novel just received what I consider to be an excellent review. (I think I told you guys that a satirical essay about its self-promotion was published last month by [REDACTED] Also, since you last replied negatively to my announcement of availability, a prominent science fiction site gave my novel a year's free advertising -- it normally charges). I guess "spam" comes in different flavors, some more appetizing than others.
The review will appear in [REDACTED]. In my opinion, the best sentences:
"Eggleton has crafted a novel that deals with social commentary mixed with some eerie science fiction and a strange problem that Lacy has to solve to save the universe with the help of her family and her dog, Brownie. I can almost hear a blue grass version of Metallica while reading this. I expect to see more from Eggleton and Lacy Dawn. Good satire is hard to find and science fiction satire is even harder to find."

"Don't worry dear, I'll have your spam. I love it!"
(Admins: Why isn't this tool bannified yet?)

Seconded. Intentions aside, the poster is nothing but a spammer who wants nothing on this board beyond self-promotion. I recommend banning as well, and the closure of this thread.

Seriously, what do you hope to accomplish Robert?
Maybe the first time, I was kinda like "Hey, maybe these guys are being a bit harsh. Maybe he's new to the Internet" However, this is the third time and all you've done is alienate the very audience that you claim to be seeking.
You've transformed an audience that might stumble upon your story and go "Hey, its that clueless guy's story, might be worth a read" to "Hey, it that annoying spammer's story, better avoid it."
I'm sure this is not what you want to accomplish, so cut your losses and move on before you lose that small fraction of this audience that still might give you a chance after three annoying spam attempts.

Alright, I'm putting an end to this clown's reign of... well, not "terror" as such... Slight discomfort, perhaps?
