And? I don't know about half the people on this list, but I could use more
work myself. If he is in really bad shape then he should have sent a short
message to the list, but don't harvest email addresses and send out
individual emails to a whole bunch of random people. but TBH I think you're over-reacting a bit,
that's all.
Why? I've not gone torches and pitchforks over it (yet). I did however
express my point of view (as have many others). For that fact, if I was
looking to hire someone, and I knew that they had spammed a large number
of people, I would most likely place their name at the bottom of my list.
Poor decision, yes, agreed, but no harm done to us. To
his rep or
standing, yes, maybe, but that is his problem, not ours.
I can agree with you partially...however it is also our problem. If people
hadn't spoken up, what would stop the next potential 'spammer' of this
type from doing the very same thing? For that fact, I wonder how many
people might have submitted his email as spam? I suspect he has been
publicly shamed enough now though.
