Random Etsy links attached to posts?

[Anonymous]

Why are there random links to etsy, that have nothing to do with the topic of discussion, attached to some posts? I've clicked on a couple and I'm always irritating to find it is nothing about what we are discussing.

These are spammers. I try to delete them whenever I find them, but unless someone reports them (which at least one person has been doing), I am unlikely to find them. Thanks to those who report the links. I'd appreciate assistance from anyone else who would report such posts as well.

Also, apparently, to contact the owner of an Etsy store, you first have to register for an Etsy account. The chance of me doing that is slim to none. Actually, less than none. So, if someone already has an Etsy account, please contact the owner and tell her to knock of her spamming or I'll start a discussion making fun of her crappy products.
