Say no to SPAM, unless your'e cooking up a spam sandwich!!

  Hello friends and readers,

  I deleted my account at http://www.reddit.com/ yesterday.  Here is the scenario that occurred in less than a week.

  The first two links I provided to the site were 'text' links and only asked a question.

1.  Term limits for Congress?   I added my two cents, and let others respond in kind.  Sort of a discussion group, if you will.

2.   Why so much info on the presidential election, when we have 33 Senators resigning or running for re-election this year?   This discussion brought some good communication.

  The second two links I provided to the site were to relevant pages on my blog....specifically, the page where I listed the 33 Senate seats up for grabs and the failure of Congress to police itself ( Stock Act 2011 ).


  Lastly, I provided a link to the site, that took readers to a letter I wrote to a Senator and her response on http://www.opencongress.org/ .


  After leaving work yesterday, I went back to my room and logged into reddit.com and was checking the discussion progress on my links, when I noticed one missing ( the one taking readers to my blog in reference to the 33 Senate seats ).  On further review, it had been sent for review as being SPAM.  Yes, dear readers....they called me a SPAMMER.


  After an attempt to contact the moderator who had labeled me as such, and receiving no response, I decided to delete my account.  Even in their bylaws, it says open access to post links to blogs, news etc etc....this is just a fallacy.  In the process to delete my profile, they even asked why I was leaving....and I explained thus...

  I am an American citizen and Army veteran who decided last year, that I will run for president in 2016 and had started a blog to charter the course from retiree to the presidency, additionally adding pertinent and useful information to my readers about any and all issues and upcoming elections.

  If reddit.com enjoys the pace at which it calls contributors "SPAMMERS", and deletes useful links which may actually create some thought, then woe to be party to that.  Deciding that my news isn't just useful, but SPAM.  Fine I say.

  The good news is that there are many other outlets available in which to spread the news....folks sharing the posts and when people just happen to find them during a search.


Have a great Sunday everyone....and, if anyone out there still has a http://www.reddit.com/ account, please send them the link to this story...

Take care all....Ciao.
