I was reading along, about four paragraphs in, and then I was accosted by a modal dialog: "Get Your Copy of "AdWords for B2B""

Maybe your article is useful, maybe not, I don't know because I closed the tab, but screw you and your asshole design[1]

edit: No seriously, take a step back and look at your website in a mirror [2]. Popping up _another_ nag as I keep scrolling down? Lord almighty, you've motivated me to blackhole your domain in /etc/hosts

She is also spamming reddit badly and then answers with things like "this is not spam" "i am a girl btw". I blacklisted the site.

It looks like you have troubles with me. I apologize if I made you feel insecure and victimized. Sorry again, dude.
