I can partly see his point, but I still think he's wrong. Flagging doesn't physically harm anyone and it may persuade them to behave better here. He thinks we can control spam by muting, but that won't work. It's up to the community to moderate.
"we had to destroy the village in order to save it".
Don't Do ANYTHING to deal with spam.
One man's spam is another's man's breakfast.
who are you to judge?
If you see something you don't like...
MUTE it...and carry on.
If everyone feels as you do then the post(er) will be muted by everyone.
Not much profit in being ignored...(except for bots...bots are unethical)...so the so called spammer will go away.
If you REALLY want to go all Mrs. Grundy and DO SOMETHING then make a list.
"Things that have my panties in a twist today" and post it..then everyone who feels as you do can mute them too.
@steevc This guy is delusional..
I posted a valid argument about this yesterday as well (ended with him muting me)

He's free to mute me, but I won't mute him.
