Here's the thing. If you make a comment and it doesn't go through, so you make the same comment three more times, the spam filter goes from thinking that you might be a spammer to being absolutely positive that you're a spammer. You should expect commenting problems for about a week until the filter becomes desensitized to you. Ah. Here’s the thing.
