RE: I need some help with a programming task: use Python to grab a web page, and email it so the email can be read normally

If you want the full story: @haejin requested no spam or advertising on his blogs.

@investingtips decided to continue spamming and advertising on @haejin's blogs.

I decided to help uphold @haejin's request. I mentioned it several times to @investingtips, who ignored my requests to stop as well as my downvotes.

I finally mentioned yesterday that @investingtips' reputation will go negative if he keeps that up. He then randomly downvoted a bunch of my posts.

So, I then mentioned his childish behavior, downvoted all the ads of his that I could find. ONLY ADS, not randomly downvoting other content he had created, like he did.

And then I told him what I had done, and told him that I would reverse my behavior if he reversed his and promised to stop.

It's his move. Here's that thread.

Then I replied to @fitnessgoals, who had said:

Don't allow steemit users to suppress truth, here is @investingtips' article that some people are trying to suppress! https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@investingtips/why-cryptocurrency-investing-is-a-terrible-idea-warning-18-only-graphic-language-used

I'm not trying to "suppress" his articles, he can write whatever he wants and note that I did not downvote his article, at all! I only downvoted his spam/ad comments, on @haejin's blogs, which were requested to stop.

In an effort to explain, I posted the below:

How about, pay attention to @haejin's warning when he says "don't spam on my articles" on every blog post he makes for several days while this spammer kept it up. Investing tip: don't spam.

@investingtips: you can still apologize and delete your spam and promise to stop; and, reverse the rage-response-downvotes you made on my various posts, and I will reverse my downvotes.

Your shotgun driveby downvoting doesn't look good on you, though. Still, I'll back down and even reverse if your behavior has truly changed.

Then again if you have @haejin's blessing to behave this way, point it out to me and I'll also reverse my behavior; I don't see everything. Although he hasn't asked me to stop, so, there's that.

@fitnessgoals has decided to back the losing team, and come on my blogs to say what a horrible person I am for helping others. Funny how he only shows my votes, and not the reasons for them or the discussion surrounding these events.

Fine, I have nothing against you, but I will speak out when you say I am a horrible person for helping reduce spam and advertising on someone's blog, who specifically requested that.

I will also note that @starjuno, who is @haejin's wife, has upvoted my comment warning @investingtips. So, the end of my above-quoted comment is unlikely to be the case (that the ads have @haejin's blessing).

Then I checked http://steemd.com/@fitnessgoals, and I see that he's spamming my posts with the above. I didn't ask for spam, but hey, I'm not going to random drive-by downvote you.

In fact, this is turning into a post.
