Stumble it!Spam science. Spam magnet.
posted in General by themaiden |Admittedly, this is a wee bit of a snarky post, but I’ve got to get this off my chest.
I have a post titled “Ohio State Board of Education Repeals “Bad Science” Lesson Plan; Creationists are annoyed”. It seems to get targeted for spam more than anything else on the blog. I do not conclude this lightly. I’ve been wanting to write this post for months but kept telling myself that it is all in my head. Still, day after day, week after week, this one post keeps getting hit. I can’t shake the feeling that this says something– that is says something about the gullibility, the intelligence, the education of the creationistically inclined.
On the other hand, I can’t shake the feeling that I am just being silly. Why would a spammer target just one post? Is targeting creationist material really that much more effective than a shotgun approach? Probably not… but still this one post just keeps getting hit.
