Accused Spammer to Debate SpamCop Founder 187
Weezle writes "Wired News is reporting that OptInRealBig's Scott Richter is going to debate SpamCop's Julian Haight in public next month. Richter had the nerve to file a lawsuit against SpamCop recently claiming that the blacklist keeps his company from sending out 'marketing messages.' (in lay terms, spam) Not surprisingly, Richter himself is being sued for $20 million by NY Att. General Eliot Spitzer. Sounds like it's going to be a real nasty fight."
I went to a fight, and a debate broke out... (Score:3, Funny)
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the referee stops this fight early. I'm expecting both of them to fight dirty... Julian Haight tries hard but often swings first and aims later, while Scott Richter says he plays by the rules but morals have never really stood in his way.
There's no way they're gonna go the scheduled twelve rounds!

That's called High Volume Email Deployment, not spam.
And Julian Haight is not Anti High Volume Email Deployment, he's anti-spam.

I believe the saying goes. No prize for guessing which side of the debate i'm on. I just got my first penis enlargement spam! "Hahahha, Little Pe-nis U Have scup docket view" it said. After ~7 years online, I feel like a real internet user at last!

We exist to provide the world with one central point point at which to focus the entirety of their hatred, while simultaneously financially assfucking them when they are forced to buy the products they need but don't want. And then spamming them with ads for newer versions. And then tracking them to make sure they buy said newer versions. And then SUING THEM!!!!!!!
Meh... it's a work in progress.

Now that we know where Scott Richter's going to be (Score:3, Funny)
1. Go to your local supermarket
2. Buy a can or two of SPAM or a cheaper generic substitute
3. Conceal the can in a bag or coat
4. Attend the conference and bring a digital camera with you.
5. Get a nice seat closer to the front
6. Wait until Richter is comfortable enough to let his guard down
7. Open can of spam and place the contents in your hand
8. Launch contents in your hand at Richter
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you're out of SPAM
10. Take a picture or Richter covered with spam w/ a digital camera
11. Post it on
Oh yeah...
12. ????
13. Profit!!!
You might need to do some more prep work as far as hurling SPAM at targets. Get a friend to help you, organize SPAM throwing practice sessions. Get all the participants to come with you to the debate.
Alternative plan
1. Go to your local sports store
2. Buy a baseball bat.
3. You know the rest...
