In Pursuit Of A Spammer

Posted by timothy on from the come-the-revolution dept.

Kyle writes "Over at DSL Reports, We are currently pursuing a spammer from the West Palm Beach, Florida area. This wouldn't normally be news, but we think Slashdot readers may be interested in just how successful we have been. What's more interesting is that the spammer appears to be posting in the thread."

    While I hate spam in my inbox I don't see how (at this current point in time) they shouldn't be allowed to send it to you (regardless of the rules that some ISP sets).

    It's their right to send it and it's your right to block it.

    Free speech, only applies to that SPEACH. There is no clause in the constituion that protects spammers in anyway. There is no freedom of the press issue either, this is HARASSMENT!

    It really isn't any different. It's just that some people have STUPIDLY signed up for internet service on a pay per megabyte basis.

    These MORORNS signed up for a system where they can be charged money for other peoples actions and are trying to change the world so that they don't have to admit that they MAY have made a mistake when they signed their TOS.
