    First of all, I named no names, and that was intentional.
    Secondly, the point of my post was not to single out individuals and yell "Stone 'em to death !", but instead:
    - to point out that it is an issue for me
    - to see if other people share my feelings, or I am just wacky and imagining things, or I am oversensitive
    - if other people feel the same way, we can do something about it.

    I've also suggested some of the things I thought might be useful: isolating spam threads, creating a subforum, etc.

    The solution is definitely not banning people, and I'd like to point out that I've never even hinted at this. Please re-read my original post. I'm sorry it has gotten that far. There is no need for such immediate drastic measures at all.

    Another reason I made this post is because I'm sure some of the posters were not even aware others may qualify their posts as spam, and simply raising the issue may solve the problem. Everyone is entitled to the benefit of the doubt, after all.

    I'm pretty sure that now that BKS is back things will go back to normal and we'll get back to living like a big happy family.

    And, Tosa, I believe this thread has served its purpose, and you may close it at your discretion. Thank you.
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    I would like to apologize to Drisos, I was wrong to single you out as you were/are not the worst spammer, but that does not mean I support your 4 pointless polls. Sorry about exaggerating the numbers, I was boggled by the number of polls in the frontroom and made a mistake.

    Also I do not spam and have only visited and posted in spam threads a few times, the God/Burrito thread but not its offshoot(s) to my knowledge, the one word story a few times, the what music thread a few times and possibly a few I have not remembered. The reason I have many posts is because I post in almost every subforum and make 8-11 posts a day. I attempt to make every post relevant and try to have each have some meaning. My post count comes from at least 95% (possibly more) non-spam posts. Another reason why I have more psots is I joined the first of November and Drisos joined the 29th, not the only reason, but still an important one.

    One reason I may have been voerly harsh is it has been hot over here and I am sorry for allowing that to affect my temperment, I will ensure to check my reasons more thoroughly if I ever name names again, but I will avoid to in the future.

    Again sorry Drisos, it was not you for the most pat and however absurd your polls were they were few in number and because of that, in my now rectified opinion, not a problem.

    EDIT: I added to this post...
