I'm guessing it's not the "google fanboys" who hate this sentiment, so much as it is the people who expect to be able to use email instead of sacrificing chickens to the sysadmin/net-abuse gods.

"expect to be able to use email" This just summarizes the problem. People "expect" to use a free email system and still be treated equally to those who pay good money for a legitimate SMTP host that cares about the quality of service they provide to their customers.

Legitimate email providers take measures to ensure their customers aren't spammers and those who don't end up on the spammer lists and this is exactly the way it should be.

Until Google takes a stand against the spammers who use their systems, they should be on the list just like all the others.

You wouldn't happen to be in the business of providing paid email accounts, would you?
No, he's just a troll. Expect him to delete his postings in a couple of minutes, he pulled that trick the other day.
The posts were deleted (in bad faith, it seems), but they seem to have been undeleted. Thanks admin!
Good warning to others pulling that stunt.
