“Spam terrorism”? Not so much

Breathless press release (titled “Spammers Use Bullying and Extortion to Intimidate Members of the Blue Community to Give up Fight Against Spam”) from Blue Security, complaining that “spam terrorists” are attacking their users by– you guessed it– sending spam. The difference is that the spammers are threatening to send even more spam to BlueFrog users unless they opt out. I don’t know that I agree that it’s bullying or extortion, but I am certain that it’s not surprising.

    Bring it on spammers. I’ve never enjoyed getting junk mail so much. I even turned on my catch-all to get more spam.

    Here here! I love spam! I can’t wait until my froggie once again wears the mask of Zorro! Went from 200 to 500/day this last Sun. – I’m holding steady at about 300 now. Once the spammers run out of steam, they’re going to have 3 days of pent up spam at double flow rates all convert to opt-outs at once. Was nice knowing them…
