Sticks, honestly, I have no idea how to make this any clearer: I don't know why the spam filter keeps catching you, but there is now nothing I can do about it. I have done everything I can to whitelist your comments, but they are always caught. The spam filter, Akismet, is a third-party application, which means I have very little control over it. If I stop using it, I will get hundreds -- hundreds -- of spam comments a day on the blog, rendering it useless.

It is possible that your comments on other blogs (if any) are what flagged you, since the spam database is used by thousands of blogs. My hands are tied.
