As explained in last week’s post, a Holocaust denier has been spamming the comments, creating a hundred dummy accounts per night to ruin each thread, moving faster than I could ban him, and Substack tech support wouldn’t help. So I had no recourse but to set comments for paid subscribers only…a problem because I’ve never HAD “paid subscribers.” This Substack is free. FREE, I tell ya! 100% FREEEEE!!!!!
But now, thanks to Heinrich Spammler, while the content will remain free to read, comments will be for paid subs only.
And it’ll only cost $10 a year to subscribe.
Just $10 a year. And still there’ll be deniers complaining that “the money grubbing Jew is only trying to line his pockets!”
I put the matter before you, the readers, last week: Is it worth $10 a year to be able to comment?
And by a 94% to 6% margin, you said yes.
So here we go —
CLICK HERE TO PAY YOUR $10 ONE-TIME FEE, AND COMMENTS SHALL BE OPENED FOR THEE!
I’ve road-tested the link, but you may have to re-enter your email address (the one you used to initially subscribe) if prompted. I’ve never done paid Substack before, so this is new to me. If you encounter any issues, please DM me.
Yesterday, eight days after I reached out, a Substack TOS enforcer did finally get back to me regarding the spammer:
Hi David,
Tex here from Substack Standards and Enforcement. Thank you for reaching out and apologies for the repeated, unwanted messages. I've banned this user at the IP level, which should slow their ability to create new 'dummy' accounts. However, based on their activity, they may be using a VPN.
So Spammler’s been dinged, but he can still come back. Of course, he spammed my DMs after I turned off comments. This guy’s such a stalker, Robert John Bardo gazes at him in amazement.
With comments now for paid subscribers only, I think - I hope - we can be done with Spammler for good.
LEGAL NOTICE (just for Spammler): Even for paid subscribers, spam comments, harassing comments, and comments from previously banned users will still be removed. Removed comments will not be cause for a refund.
In other words, pay away for your hundred dummy accounts, Spammler. Your comments will still be redacted.
Okay, hopefully things can get back to normal now. My apologies for a week with comments turned off. I love you guys and I love hearing from you.
Hopefully my work will prove worth the annual sawbuck.
Remember - next week’s piece is Tucker Carlson telling me to “fuck off” after going on a tirade about Israel during a text exchange with me that started with him excitedly claiming to be a fan of mine and ended with him having a meltdown after I dared to ask him a question he didn’t like.
Can you guess the question?
Tucker claims to be “just asking qwestchins,” but I found the one “qwestchin” that makes him cuss like a sailor.
Not “cuss like Steve Sailer”…
“Statistical studies reveal that the usage of profane language has significantly inverse correlations with stress (r = −0.250; p < 0.01), anxiety (r = −0.161; p < 0.05), and depression (r = −0.182; p < 0.01). Higher profaners also reveal significantly lower levels of depression (M = 29.91, SD = 10.80 vs. M = 33.48, SD = 10.40; p = 0.009; d = 0.338) and stress (M = 30.83, SD = 11.41 vs. M = 35.16, SD = 11.31; p = 0.003; d = 0.381) as compared to lower profaners. Profanity has no significant correlations with age (r = 0.031; p > 0.05) and education (r = 0.016; p > 0.05). Men project significantly higher levels of profanity as compared to women (Table 4; M = 143.235, SD = 58.392 vs. M = 121.374, SD = 57.638; p = 0.004; d = 0.377). Women project significantly higher levels of stress as compared to men (Table 4; M = 34.761, SD = 11.413 vs. M = 31.439, SD = 11.467; p = 0.025; d = 0.291). Thus as a male with a negligible depression cohort, it’s statistically incumbent upon me to tell you to fuck off.”
…because nobody can cuss like Steve Sailer.
Okay, next week - Tucker!
Make sure to be paid up by then, because you will wanna comment.
Also, feel free to catch up in the comments by talking about last week’s piece.
And thank you as always for being a reader!
You’re worth a million times more than you charge. And thank you for the clip about cursing. I really struggle with controlling my mouth and thoughts and have to confess it over and over but honestly there are so many dumb Tuckers in this world I’d rather have the joy of cursing. Dammit.
I want to know what dickwads voted no.
