This is close to the "terrorist argument", the idea that some kind of actions warrant the suspension of due process. Holding strongly to your values is holding due process in the face of exceptional circumstances. Otherwise you're just getting down to your enemy's level, hence not doing better that spammers.

And that get people used to arbitrary decisions and based on no due process.
