You call yourself THE SOURCE. You vain self aggrandising bastard. I hope Mark in the wilds of Australia learned that you are not worthy of his efforts. I certainly have.
Perhaps Substack needs to have a "Wall of Shame" tag feature that writers and readers can visually tag those imposing commenters with and other people can check out. Once these bots/sociopaths infect a thread or subject it does ruin the content being discussed significantly.
Once you tag them, you can choose to ignore them from that point on and no longer respond to them.
Incredible, but I've had the same happen to me from comments I posted on a You Tube channel. Some comments I will respond to if I feel they are worthy of my time and energy, the rest I ignore and delete/block if I feel its a CIA bot (which is about 95% of the time). I try to not let people anger me or get too confrontational because then it causes me undo stress while the "person" on the other side gets a win. If someone tries to entice you into an argument, wish them a nice day. I found that usually ends the conversation with the troll. Most of us here are pretty intelligent, I think we can find out who's a real person, and who isn't. Be Blessed, Ray!
Well, my newfound brother, I think that your willingness to stand free, and to be forthright has won you the reward of such as that will bring, and I hope that you read this, but I don't blame you for shaking the dust from your feet, and bidding these frightened sheep such peace as they are afforded.
Many of you are, sadly, too watered down to sense when the dark hand is about your throats, but will hang the very messenger sent to warn you from within your smug delusions, and you too will receive the just compensation for such wickedness that arises from allowing some other to do your thinking and living for you.
Remember that a wolf in sheep's clothing is not going to slap you awake before the slaughter ensues, but is going to encourage your sleepy docility.
Do not be misguided fools, but do your own due diligence. Or perish.
Alas, the division sets in, and the true colors are bleeding through...
Mark, not "Mark", gets the benefit of being labeled as a bot for his long-windedness, and for being a confrontational sort, eh?
I feel as if I myself am no longer wanted here, for I am a similar soul, and will stand with the "bot".
I will return to the lonely place that is to be always at odds with the accepted "norms" of this faulty and failing system, and it's willing participants.
I have enjoyed many of the interactions here, but do not agree with a lot of what I now witness pouring from the minds and mouths of the likes of some of you (I'll not be naming names).
Farewell on your worthy journeys through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, which most would seem to be confused as to it's location - the battlefield of the invisible soul.
Love Conquers The Dark Will of Hate, and that is all.
You are the second Substacker to write about this problem. Steve Kirsch just posted about shutting off his comments to deal with a spam bot that was posting a comment on his articles every few minutes.
Kirsch contacted Substack’s CEO and is hoping to resolve the issue soon.
Another SubStack I am subscribed to, (Steve Kirsch) got the comments hacked by a bot that just kept showing up under different email addresses. He contacted the platform and then had to figure out a convoluted way to allow comments.
I am trying to find out how we can help you but I don't quite see my way. In that last conversation you linked he is obviously teasing. I had not read it before.
If you would answer (others like) him in a few words ("I do not appreciate this kind of comment") we, your readers, would know to stay away from them. When the fish don't rise the lonely angler goes home. Don't they? For sure it is a waste of your time.
Before I subscribed to your Newsletter I didn't even know you try to answer us all. I enjoy the interaction but knowing the preciousness of time I would not be offended if you didn't. So if I may make a cautious suggestion, please do AS YOU PLEASE. Spend as much or as little time on comments as suits your day. I would not be the less grateful for the valuable items you send out. It seems a heavy workload enough. Please understand I do not mean to meddle.
"Mark" is now banned "forever" for the following comment:

Please, pay close attention to the link in the next pinned comment.
tis happening everywhere:

Huh? Says 93 comments, then 'error loading comments'?
Wanted to hear others. Pretty hard to fix. So much can be abused.
Question? Could you tell me what happens if you ignore
comments with various problems?
Mostly, people back off to attack again. Sorry, hope I'm too negative,
wrong.
I like your posts. Keeping a good life seems #1.
I have banned YOU for life for your astounding bitchiness and hypocrisy. You say in this post that you do not pick fights...... hmm.
You certainly went ahead and picked one with me, didn't you leech?

"Mark" might be an AI chatbot. They're in the comments. If someone's a big pain in the ass, ask them to solve a CAPTCHA. Here's an example:

A. Ignoring comments is okay.
B. Banning people for disagreeing with you is not really.
Your post was about his comments and he disagreed with you. This is not looking good for you Ray. Sorry.

Mark needs his own sub stack. Bid him adieu.
I think Mark is a troll bot
Ray is doing the right thing by opening dialog and allowing for reflection and remediation but no 3rd chances. Substack is not the same as Reddit.
