Well they're the one with the fucking stupid idea of leaving the house when they have a severe allergy to fur. I mean fuck, if I had an allergy to fur I'd stay the fuck at home where I know there's no dogs or cats or shit, why fucking risk it getting in a cab to go to the airport?

You do know the patent system sucks not only for companies being trolled, but also for inventors right? There are so many big companies infringing on the little guys who just don't have the resources to fight. Even if they did fight, they could be labeled trolls because they don't have the capital to produce their idea. Publishing the patent before approved could give big companies two years of royalty free access to their idea, making it so that everyone already has widget x and doesn't need one anymore, or the goodwill has been created for company x's widget being the best. The patent system sucks from both sides.

Really, you've never met a considerate smoker because you've never noticed them. They're the ones who don't sit in the smoking section of restaurants because they know how much it sucks to have someone smoke in the same building as you when you're eating. They smoke in the wind so that their clothes don't stink. They pick their time to smoke.

I mean I could say i've never met a considerate Jewish person, and that's racism (I've never met a Jewish person though, so it's not racism), but you've never met a considerate smoker and that's somehow alright? It's funny the people who normally complain about the rights of others being trampled trample the rights of others whenever they get the chance.

You had a bad experience, ipso facto everyone should stop using a service that works. That's bullshit. Spam is far worse than losing one or two emails because someone's IT guy didn't have the balls to tell his boss to keep the two ISP connections running concurrently while they tested everything. Then you complain about the user not receiving the mail? The best thing about a DNSBL is that you don't receive the mail, reducing bandwidth, reducing cost. Also, you couldn't have just forwarded all mail through your ISP? Why are you guys all so sour when you get listed on a blacklist for a few days, there are workarounds for you, but not many for the spammers.

Send spam, be punished? Doesn't really sound that bad to me. If you were worth your salt as an IT guy you would've had your ISP change your IP address though. I've dealt with SORBS in getting a range of IP addresses removed before, it took two weeks. During that time we routed all outbound mail through a different IP address. You're going to have trouble with blacklists because they have to be annoying to be effective.
