I can't really argue with you if you've experienced this, but for what it's worth, all the developers I know professionally have legitimate reasons to dislike recruiters, and avoid them wherever possible.

I think it's unfair that people have their motives for disliking something called into question just because they're in a certain strata that has that problem and not everyone else does.

I'm not trying to say the recruiters are pleasant or anything. I just feel like the amount of complaining about recruiter emails is disproportionate to how inconvenient they actually are.

There's nothing wrong with disliking the emails--a lot of people get recruiter emails and just silently ignore them; a few complain loudly about them, and that's who I'm talking about.

Alright, that's a fair point. I'm in the group that silently ignores and tries to foil them, although I will chime in if people minimize the problem.
