Nope. Reread, I didn't say that at all. I'm getting the feeling that
Nick isn't the only one who is sensitive around here.
The point is that spammers use this exact same line. We didn't accept
it then as a reason and we shouldn't now.
Topica has to use *other* arguments to support their actions. And
they have valid arguments rather than these invalid ones. Why rely on
arguments that spammers use instead of the valid ones that do have?
To rely on the spammer-type arguments is to say that maybe the
spammers were right.
I never asserted that you have to please everyone all the time. So
that's a strawman.
