A Day with an ISP Spam Investigator

scumbucket writes "Network World Fusion has an interesting article about an abuse investigator for ISP Earthlink and his job of tracking down spammers. It's nice to see that major ISP's are making an effort to shut spammers down and kick them off of their networks."

    The problem is that America is a free country and Americans are allowed to email whatever the fuck they want. I'm sure in your little socialist backwater the government watches your every move and cracks down if you don't wipe your ass the correct government way but here in THE USA BROTHER we do what we want. If your little inbox is overflowing with spam then go cry to your king or whatever it is you have because the Internet is for MEN only; not whimpering soccer players who cry because they saw a bug. DUMBASS!

    I'm sorry, just because you might've saved me from bullies a couple of times, doesn't mean I'm going to help you mug someone else. Only a neocon (compassionate conservatism my ass) would believe that loyalty is more important than morality.
