As soon as Amazon start behaving as responsible corporate citizens, certainly. Until then I'll go right on pointing out their behaviour at every turn. Believe me, I don't spare other companies when they behave in this manner either.

It's bluntness - if I see a brick, I call it a brick, and Amazon's absolutely terrible record in corperate governance counts massively against them. If you want rude, ask me my opinion of Ebay. (Or for that matter Wikipedia, the OLPC project or Google)

Some people will see it as nasty, quite simply I believe that allowing this behaviour to pass is no more and no less than condoning it. I'd add right now that Amazon are sending me on average 3 emails a day to one of my Amazon accounts, despite my turning off their emails explicitly in their own control panel and my requesting they close that account multiple times (because they keep emailing me on it!) - every single one is thus generating spam reports (to several places). I won't apologise for that either.
