That is the spammers' dream: shut people down for complaining. From the very beginning spammers have typically had the attitude that those they spam should "just hit delete". The more sociopathic spammers double down and spam complainers harder.

This amounts to thinking you've got a moral right to spam.

If it wasn't so easy to slide from advertising to spamming, this wouldn't matter, but that slide is easy.
