Just because people dont like the message or the person who sent it doesnt mean the message should be illegal. Most people arent capable of thinking rationally about the topic because of their outright hatred... its weird. If spammers send mail about scams then they should be dealt with like any other scam artist. If spammers are selling legit goods then i dont see how its any different than any other form of advertising.. e.g. I dont ask to see adds on TV/radio/newspaper, but i dont consider the adds to be spam. (Anyone who compares spamers to NAZI's is seriously deranged, do spammers attempt genocide or anything close ?)
