It's shameless. In their shoes, I'd just sit there quietly, take the snub on the chin, keep plying my spammy trade, and have enough introspection to realize that the reason no one wants to talk to me is because I've created one of the shittiest, most user-hostile content abominations in the history of the entire internet.
I guess the dangerous thing about dirtbags is that they have no idea they're dirtbags. My only comfort in all this is the knowledge that Stack Overflow has delivered us from evil.
