So obviously you should have ignored his admin request and forced him to
figure out how to unsubscribe all by himself. Just like any other loser that
subscribes, then sends out unsubscribe requests to all of us. I mean
seriously, why would you even think of doing this guy the favor of
unsubscribing him?

I think Scott was doing us the favour of getting rid of the profane language, not to mention the insults targeted at (I assume) mmalc. (Thanks, Scott.)


Also, in defence of losers everywhere, sometimes their loser "friends" sign them up for high-traffic mailing lists "for a laugh". If they don't know how to unsubscribe and they're getting hundreds or thousands of messages a day, I think it's understandable that some of them try to send unsubscribe requests to mailing lists... and chances are that they won't see e-mails trying to help extricate them from their situation, because they probably haven't set their mail client (or server) up to file messages appropriately.

That's no excuse for the profanity or the insults, of course.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
