So what makes a spammer?

So today there was someone spamming on the blog. So it got me thinking about why someone spams a blog. On the smack blog there seems to be several different spammers. Some of them have been talking about what bothers them about the blog. So last night one seemed to be really upset about the language, while another one (or several) seem to be upset about the way innocent people are treated. I have to agree with all the spammers. I do think the language is way over the top on the blog, I also think that ruining peoples personal lives is just not okay.

There has been a lot of talk lately about CM and the fact that she is grieving since the death of her husband and spending money like crazy and posting about it on her blog. The fact that she posts this seems to send many on the blog into a frenzy. I personally think it is her own personal blog and it isn't my business how she spends her money or what she does. Just as it isn't anyone's business what I choose to do with my life, even if I do post it on my personal blog.

So what makes someone go from smacker to spammer? What is the point when one gets so tired of hearing people called bitch, cunt or whore? When do they get tired of someones child get called ugly.

Guess who posted last night that the blog becomes whatever you focus on. So is it true that seeing people smacked for no reason along with all the filth language is all I am seeing on the blog? I do see some posts that are great. Yesterday the praise about SH blog post, the review of the current scrapbook magazines, and even the post about TC missing her class while she waited in the airport for 6 hours only feet away from the shuttle taking everyone to the scrapbook event where her class was held. These are all great posts. The sad thing is the number of regular scrapbook related posts to those that are smacking personal lives and using the filthy language with name calling and slams against another poster are very few and far between. I would guess the ratio to be somewhere in the range of 1 to 10.
