Crooked Timber blocks all gmail.com comments due to spam flood

Don't Use a gmail.com Address

Crooked Timber, a group blog, is so overwhelmed by spam from fake gmail.com addresses that it has set its spam filter to delete all comments originating from gmail.com. The post advises legitimate commenters to use a fake email address like anon.com and their usual name, noting that the blog rarely checks email addresses. The author also suggests emailing him directly at his iCloud address for those having trouble, and adds a final note: 'Google is Evil.'
