Do you read spam?
I do read all spam comments in my blog once in each 2-3 days and enjoy it a lot.
Many of them are just hilarious and really samples of spam art and/or epistolary art like:
  • "I eat whatever and it works!"
    with links to this "whatever" - condoms, diets, free money, shoes, etc.
  • "Information is power and I am !@#$%^ dominator of the world"
  • etc., etc.
Most are just delicious, hilarious and genuinely witty!
I have orgasm ROTFLMAO reading them

So, I tried to leave some spammy comments deleting those that were:
  • repetitions,
  • offensive
  • highly dissonant between topic of comment and references used
  • leading to malicious sites
Though, lately, I had to delete them all (I cried from despair doing it) because:
  • visitors do not comment my blog seeing it is overfilled with (funniest, IMO) spam art and thinking I am a spammer
  • blog is penalized by search engines
  • I myself got my IP in blacklists frequently being unable to comment or register in forums
  • there is no option to leave a comment and to report it as spam, so if I leave spam comment, I invoke and attract more spam from the same spammer and his "affiliates"
So, the question is:
how can I leave spam in own blog?
It is on Wordpress.com, so comments are not indexed, anyway

I also want to publish an article citing comments and giving credits to authors (with names and links)
The same question:
how to do it without making me outlaw in the eyes of most (too serious) people, search engines and black lists?

Any advices?
 
So, if I understand you correctly, you want your blog to look spammy, without visitors and search engines thinking of it as spammy?

Comments are not seen there to a visitor unless he enters a specific article of it.
So, blog cannot appear spammy, only specific article and I hope after reading it, so the person who read it hardly would think that I am a spammer

Then, I do not care about and even do not want :
  • casual visitors, but only visitors specifically interested in specific topics of my blog that specifically searched for keywords of my blog.
  • comments and/or enter in communication/discussion with people without sense of humor and having fixed point of views.
    The comments that I was leaving (before) were really cute and if visitors that do not have any sense of humor,
So, I care only about search engines and black lists

Also, what about writing an article about spam inserting there most of spam?

The problem with allowing spammers to comment and keep it are actually twofold. First, it lets them know they can get away with it. This has an effect of making it very hard to police as they will blizzard your site with crap. Now, in most cases it's not bad as the spam is just advertising this or that. But some spam is actually dangerous to your users. The biggest issue is you don't know which is which. So leaving spam links up can be potentially harmful to your users.

Second, blogs with a shit-ton of spam just look and feel unprofessional. When I click on a blog and see that most of the comments are spam, it gives me a negative view of the person writing the article. It looks like they don't really care that much. I'd rather see a site with no new content than a busy site filled with spammers.

But in the end, if they amuse you and you want to keep them around that's up to you.
