Unsubscribe or Ignore?

[zsn]

Maybe this belongs down the hall…..I’m sure I’m not the only one being bombarded of late with political emails asking for money. Some of it I understand, given my political views and past donations to candidates. However, when I start getting emails from Ted f-ing Cruz and Tucker f-ing Carlson, lines have been crossed!! I didn’t feel so strongly when Turd Jr himself emailed me. But Tulsi Gabbard? Come on!!

So, question for those in the know…..or those who pretend to be in the know: do I click the “unsubscribe” link and confirm to the scoundrels that the email address is a live one, thus increasing the value of my email address on the spam market, or do I just ignore, delete and hope that it all goes away in about 10 days?

Alternatively, is there something clever I can do to get them to stop, on the lines of replying with “Dear Fellow {insert vile characteristic}..Thank you representing us in such admirable ways…….” - eg. of characteristic - Pedophile, Jihadist, Domestic Abuser, Cannibal, Republican, Rapist etc

Do not click unsubscribe.
Mark as spam and block
