Websites aren't people. They don't have desires. Machines have communication protocols. You can set your machine to blackhole the traffic or TCP RST or whatever

Websites aren't people. They don't have desires. Machines have communication protocols. You can set your machine to blackhole the traffic or TCP RST or whatever you want. It's just network traffic. Do what you want with it.
People send me spam. I don't whine about it. I block it.
- latexr 1y ago> Websites aren't people. They don't have desires. Obviously I’m talking about the people behind them, and I very much doubt you lack the minimal mental acuity to understand that when I used “website owners” in the preceding sentence. If you don’t want to engage in a good faith discussion you can just say so, no need to waste our time with fake pedantry. But alright, I edited that section. > You can set your machine to blackhole the traffic or TCP RST or whatever you want. It's just network traffic. And then you spend all your time in a game of cat and mouse, while these scrappers bring your website down and cost you huge amounts of money. Are you incapable of understanding how that is a problem? > People send me spam. I don't whine about it. I block it. Is the amount of spam you get so overwhelming that it swamps your inbox every day to a level you’re unable to find the real messages? Do those spammers routinely circumvent your rules and filters after you’ve blocked them? Is every spam message you get costing you money? Are they increasing every day? No? Then it’s not the same thing at all.
- whatevaa 1y agoI would suggest not arguing with a wall, the person you are replying to thinks there exists some magic sauce of code to solve this problem.
