To paraphrase John Stuart Mill,
I have no right to control what you do...but where would our society be if everyone said "do what you want, what do I care?"
If this were a simple case of buyer beware that would be one thing. If you were surfing Vivek's Web Site I would say "buyer beware". But Vivek is selling stuff in a place where people have become accustomed to not being solicited, and I assume they like it this way.
To reiterate, I find spammers annoying. I also find leaf blowers and cigarette smoke annoying. I would ban them all, and if enough people agreed with me, we'd have a law.
Too bad you have a narrow view of 'freedom', one which apparently involves wading through spam infested web sites, smoke filled restaurants, and neighbourhoods full of loud noises. You and I see it differently. End of story. Don't worry fella, I'm not your Dad, I couldn't care less what you do with your life, and I won't stop you from downloading those pornos, or eating that Twinkie I see in your hand. |
