Anyway if you check here[1] you will see no mention of the post you got. So, yes its spam.

Logic cannot be "applied" in the way you're trying to. Logic isn't "truth", but a process by which conclusions can be derived from assumptions. Correct logic can lead to invalid conclusions if it starts from false assumptions. What are your assumptions? That people who take pleasure in provocation cannot exist? Or people who like to manipulate other people, not for some further end, but purely for the sake of manipulation? The answer to your "why?" is that they don't follow the same motivations that you do. "Logic" doesn't tell me that, but experience does. Trying too hard, yes. Logic cannot be "applied" in the way you're trying to.

Could spamming that be the modern equivalent? You see the same kind of thing painted on overpasses. Could spamming that be the modern equivalent?
