Oh, the Hilarity of Subterfuge in the Blogsphere...

From Redstate.org

To the unimaginative troll

Specifically, the one taking so much time to sign RedState up for all the lefty mailing lists: you're not as smart as you think you are - and you're only going to hurt the ones you love.

Here's why: we're not legitimately subscribing to all these lists. So, of course, we'll ask to be unsubscribed. The first organization or cause that fails to honor those subscriptions (and most of them don't do it very well) will offer the perfect opportunity to test out the CAN-SPAM act. Many thanks.

Wow, the unseen consequences of that action are going to come back and bite someone in the butt. But what are someones motives for doing something like sign someone else up for a whole bunch of e-mail lists. So its an annoyance, but isn't a very effective way of actually changing someone's mind on an issue. If anything it just galvanizes them against it. Yet another instance of irresponsible ignorance.
