I just saw this is in one of my school books WOW! It is quite interesting:)
Definition of Spamming: Engaging in the practice of sending unsolicited electronic messages.
Spamming on the internet has become a nation wide problem. The 108th Congress will be addressing this issue soon. This practice is looked upon much the same as telemarketing calls that you receive at home without you permission.
Political/Gossip/Threat/Hate spamming. Individuals are engaging in the ugliest of rumor, gossip, and other personal attacks on board members.
The Problem:
Freedom of speech is one of the most important freedoms we enjoy in the United States. Certainly members should be free to say what they want within the boundaries of law. The problem arises when certain members hide behind this freedom to launch vicious attacks against other members and then literally force other members to hear their stories which are most often based on half truths, exaggerations and in most cases, outright lies. In many cases, members are the victims of liable statements (Spoken or written defamation of a person in the presence of a third party.)That is just so interesting:)
