It is a basic Internet truism that all spammers are scumbags. Spammers make the Internet less pleasent. Spammers make it hard to allow children to use email without fear that they will be deluged with material inappropriate for their age. Spammers lie. Spammers charge you for their advertising.
None of this is rocket science. If every spammer suffered the kind of violent death meted out to Guy Fawkes and his co conspirators, the world would probably be a happier and more just place
But what gets me is the morons who, having been spammed by someone, pass the information on to me, requesting that I consider purchasing some web advertising service or search engine optimisation.
I mean, we can accept that there will always be some low life scum who suffer from the delusion that the pursuit of money by any means is an end in itself. But why are there people who think a service offered immorally is worth considering if their service might be useful? It is people like these who give the spammers the oxygen that allows them to exist.
So if you know someone who is considering buying a product or service from a spammer - tell them - “just say no”. That way lies destruction.
