We are not talking about murder here, we are talking about blocking email which is a far less serious matter. In the case of murder what happens to the murderer depends on the laws of the country the crime is comitted in. There are many countries where you can literally "get away with murder" because of their lack of suitable laws and law enforcement. This issue of different laws also corresponds to the spam situation. In the English speaking part of the Internet if you don't respond to an English language complaint regarding spam then you are regarded as protecting the spammer and treated accordingly. In Asia the rules are different. So sometimes spammers get away more easily in the US because they will argue their case instead of just accepting a default judgement against them. Note that in a civil trial, if you decline to attend the trial then the judgement will almost certainly not be in your favour. Also note that in a criminal trial, trying to escape from custody before the trial will not help your case. On Mon, 19 Aug 2002 15:36, Jason Lim wrote: > I sincerely did not consider that racist.

But referring to the policies of Asian governments is a totally different matter. > nations. But I'm not like that... and I believe that Russell isn't like > that either. Hopefully you weren't offended by those comments, Russell. If > you were I apologize... it was not intended as a racist remark. No offense at all. I disagree with some of your statements, but I can understand why you make them, and we can spend some time in a friendly debate about them. -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.
