If I were mailgun, I'd be okay losing Evan as a customer.

I would try to see this from Evan's perspective. Its easy to find next to useless Sales people, its harder to find a good customer. Evan is a busy guy and said please don't waste my time with a Sales call this is only for your own benefit and then got something else.

And I don't want you Sales people poking around in my SaaS setup or in my data.

> Evan is a busy guy and said please don't waste my time

Busy people don't spend hours starting internet fights. They delete spam and move on with their day.

They do for vendors that draw their ire, maybe not for your average sales email.
In the comments he posts another interaction with a sales-person. Read his second reply... I'd be happy losing him too. (As a business owner I understand how we get spam like this all the time, and I almost always ignore it if it is clearly not targeted. If someone goes out of their way to list some real reasons why they like my company though, I would try to be a little nicer)
Agreed, this is silly.
