Spammers Don't Like Anti-Spammers
Spammers don't like us. Shocking? We are hurting these poor business men pushing illegal pills, penis enlargers, porn, etc. We are depriving them of being able to feed their families (and buy fancy cars) because they can't find any real jobs. I guess if you put it that way, we should all quit and let them continue their attempt to ruin the internet.
Anyway, to read a bunch of Russian spammers crying about how they are doing nothing wrong and we should leave them alone, check out the comments on Spamhuntress' KLIK Media GmbH registrar post. Currently 64 comments in four days and growing fast.
Update: Spamhuntress has posted some commentary on the reason some spammers don't see what they are doing as wrong. She says it is cultural differences. They don't see screwing Americans and other westerners as wrong because we are all so rich. I agree that is a reason behind a lot of spam, but certainly not all. There are plenty of slimy western spammers out to get rich at the expense of others as well, they are just jerks.
