Spam Comments—Beware!

It has indeed come to our attention that unauthorised comments have been added to the blog. The comment facility should not be abused. We do, however, invite readers to add remarks of a critical, but helpful, nature—the raison d’etre of this blog is about mutual assistance and group therapy, after all. Perhaps there are those of us who are a little slipshod in their style, so we would encourage responses that made stylistic suggestions, for example, or we would applaud a particularly brave confession. But we must not let the system be abused and the dialogue break down.

And in these times, everyone must be on their guard. Remember the no surnames policy in particular. We must be vigilant against terrorist attempts on Community Cohesion Centres—we must protect the identity of our guests, even if they themselves do not recognise the therapeutic importance of their seclusion.

I’m afraid, Roxanne, that we may have to invite this Sarah B for a consultation session. And hers is not the only security breach. We have reason to believe that automatic spams are being generated, possibly using AI software to create fictional identities or to appropriate real ones. Remember Hamid Benegeli and, more recently, the JM terrorist. Be alert, and protect your own identity. There have even been attacks on the integrity of our own staff here at the Centre, attempts to subvert faith in our system. But don’t worry. We’re in control.
