  1. I knew a spammer by GoatPigSheep · · Score: 1, Troll

    A friend of mine was into the spam game for a while. At the age of 19 he was making much more than any of the unix programmers I knew. He recieved several death threats from basement dwelling geeks and most of them have been tracked down and charged for their heinous crimes. My friend got out of the business after other members of his family were threatened too.

    Remember, while spamming is a grey area subject, death threats are illegal. Whatever twisted morals you might have, if you threaten a spammer with violence expect to be tracked down and charged for it.
