If it takes out a spammer it will 1) keep others from having to deal with the spam. 2) lesson the traffic across multiple networks that the spammers spams would have caused. This sounds like a legitimate reason for using these methods doesn't it? Complaints only work for short term. You complain to the persons ISP, the ISP cancels his account. so the idiot goes somewhere else and starts it all over again. But if you do something MORE damaging than getting his email the guy might think twice about doing it again for fear of getting bombed again. does this make any sense?
