Don't know Spanish, but I don't see suscribe anywhere in your given source.
I don't think Michael is accusing them of being evil, but rather stating
that no matter what, they purposefully do this.  We've numerous, almost
daily, threads regarding this.  I can't even count them.  I am preatty sure
they read at least on of them since all of their messaged seem to have the
same subject line.  Please unscribe me.  I mean "all of them".

You're accusing people of being evil.

I think it's much simpler. In Latin-based languages, (un)subscribe is
indeed written in a slight variation, *without* the "B".

French: souscrire
Spanish:        su(b)scribirse 
Italian:        sottoscrivere
