I agree 100% with Kevin and I am joining him in leaving SpicePlace. I am a little concerned when an absent moderator surfaces only once in a blue moon and then disappears. What is up with that:confused:


Anyhow I am friends with a few solid people here and we shall remain friends and we all know how to keep in touch, to all others I hope you will all be well. Good-Bye

You are welcome MamaM.
However, I do believe as citizens our hands are not tied until we just give up and give in. Our hands are free free free to vote in America and that is where we differ from Communism and Dictatorships, if we dislike the way our leaders have represented us we simply refuse to vote them into office another term! Dictatorships truly try and dictate every move a person makes and tries to suppress their free-will, Opression is disgusting! Think about it>>> There is great Liberty in a free country...

I pledge allegeance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

I should not be censored for having an opinion! My special thanks and gratitude to Kevin for helping me to realize that this was a big deal, and that I am ok in everyway to think and feel the way I do, and there really is no harm done in the way I was expressing my views on the subject of the oil spill.

This response really hasn't anything too much to do with Cathy's post - and maybe it has everything to do with the outcome! Free speech is an issue with which many people seem to take exception - and evidently the erstwhile Matt did exactly that - perhaps to his own detriment! Looking foolish and churlish seems to come easily to people like that! Anyway, my complaint has to do with the fact that a cake recipe of mine seems to have been taken over by spammers and frankly I'm mad as all hell over it!
Why pick on me, I'd like to know? I couldn't care less about the individual's pushing his tax attorney status - but why not pay for his advertising? That's supposed to be the American way, isn't it? Is there really no way this can be stopped? Free speech be darned - but not at the expense of a perfectly good recipe, put forward in all sincerity!!
I may be a naive dummy, but there are now two people doing this and I'm still being used and I simply don't like it one little bit!! If the "administrator" wants to do something useful and worthwhile, why not work on stopping this sort of thing?

the spammers haven't just targeted your recipe - they don't care what they target - they don't care who's post it is - all I can do is delete their posts and ban them - I've spent countless hours hanning them as they register so that they never get a chance to post - unfortunately - I am only human - I have a life and many responsibilities and I cannot sit here 24/7 banning them all - if anyone here can do it - then let them take over
