I understand your point, the way I see it we have different views on "spam".
I see spam as (usually) automatic and bulk send out of messages with
commercial intents, that flood public forums as well as private email
accounts without regarding for the disruption they cause. You have a
different view, hence our disagreement.
I actually have less tolerance for trolling (causing trouble just because)
than for people who share something they believe will be of actual use for
others. So, yeah, I would have less tolerance for a troll post than to this
one. I just think he should have either tagged it as off-topic or posted in
the Troll Lounge (seeing as it is an Off-Topic place by itself).
But all is good with me, he didn't mistreat anyone, so... No damage was done.
