Fear the Spam Rage

I was checking my RSS feeds this morning and found this one via SecurityFocus.

A public radio reporter over in Philadelphia left a nasty-gram in a voicemail box belonging to a company she believed was spamming her.
“Hi, my name is Rachel, and my telephone number is [number]. I wanted to tell you that you’re evil, horrible people. You’re awful people. You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and he wants to kill your children. You should all burn in hell. Bye.”
While I do share some of her sentiment, especially the part about God wanting to kill their babies, I would have just reported the e-mail to Spamcop and fed it to SpamAssassin; or, I would have just hit the delete key and got on with my life. It’s only e-mail, after all.
Unfortunately, Rachel made the critical mistake of leaving her work telephone number, and subsequently got shit-canned for it. Not the smartest thing to do.
