You are, simply, incorrect. If I sentence a Jay-Walker to 5 years of prison - that is called cruel and unusual punishment. It's a simple process, there is no ambiguity.
Some anonymous fuck made some random comment that was modeed up on SlashDot. Said random modders, "Well, it sounded intelligent and I'd heard such a tone 40 times".
Seriously, let me mimic your random fuck-ass seemingly relevent comment:
Gorron's law is about as relevent as Godwin's law, in that it is a post-relevent obviostic comment which viewed in hindsight turns out to be about 95% relevent. What about the other 5%? Few comment about that 5%.
Mod me up! I'm some random fucking nerd who spent 5 minutes trying to gain the approval of yoy fucking nerds...
Fucking nerdathal sycophants.
I know we all hate spammers and all, but this is just silly.
There are people who have beaten someone to death, shot someone, etc... who get lighter sentences that this.
He could appeal on "cruel and unusual" alone.
Suitable punishments for spammers are things like:
_Huge_ fines, enough to bankrupt them and put them in severe debt.
30-60 days in jail
Home arrest after the jail time
Being forbidden from going near a computer for 1 year
etc...
Don't let your nerdish tendencies blind you to real justice (and injustice) just because you really hate spammers.
