Anti-vax/curbie spam
I have a faily spam-ridden secondary Yahoo account. It's the one I use to sign up to read registration-only online content, post comments to sites that require an email addy, look at lists I don't post to much and so on. As you might imagine, it's pretty well-supplied with offers to enlarge my mmEmber, furnish me with Cheapp ROLLEXs and Hhot MILF Actionn, or Confirm Seccuritty Detials of accounts with banks I've never banked at. Even so, I was pretty furious when I started getting spam apparently from Jenny McCarthy's dismal Generation Rescue organisation.
Regular readers will know where I stand on "curing" autism, and also my opinion of people who want to allow children to perish from, or be horribly damaged by, completely preventable diseases, based on cock-a-mamie theories and fraudulent, repeatedly debunked research. An organisation supporting both basically makes me Hulk out and break stuff, so there's no way I would have voluntarily signed up for their drivel. Which means that either a) some anti-vax/curbie trollmuppet signed me up just to rattle my cage, or b) Generation Let Your Kid Die Of Measles harvest emails for spam.
So after I had said a few things to the uncaring sky regarding Ms. McCarthy and her bloody awful organisation, I blocked the address--volunteer@generationrescue.org--and thought no more about it. Until a few days later, when I noticed that I was still getting email from Jenny McWhoopingcough and Generation Mumps Has Gone Up By 300% Well Done Arseholes. This time, it was coming from info2@generationrescue.org.
Yes, that's right. Not only is Generation Polio harvesting and spamming email accounts with their ludicrous garbage, if you try and block their effluent from your inbox they will simply re-register you with an alternate email address.
Dammit I am peeved. And by peeved I mean HULK SMAAAAASH.
