As for whether or not spammers should die in a fire (or any other way):
Spammers have proven that they see the rest of the human race (that is, all of us) as not compatriots but targets and victims. They have chosen to become predators on their own species. Is there some reason not to see them as the predators (and, therefore, menaces) they have chosen to become?
A wolf is born a wolf; it has no choice except to be a predator. A human has the choice. Most humans decide to be a part of their ecosystem (that is, human society). Spammers choose to prey upon it instead. So I think it's natural to accept them as what they have chosen to be.
The world is full of people whose lives I care deeply about. Spammers, who have chosen to renounce their humanity, are not any of them.

And how do you see advertising as related to spam. I hate advertising, but don't have any choice but to put up with it (other than recording and fast-forwarding)...
Is spam a fundamentally different thing than advertising or is it just by context.
