Booher threatened to send a "package full of Anthrax spores" to the company, to "disable" an employee with a bullet and torture him with a power drill and ice pick; and to hunt down and castrate the employees unless they removed him from their e-mail list,

That'll do for starters.

Charles Booher should be memorialized with his own commemorative stamp. And a statue. And a holiday. And the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This is the sort of guy I wouldn't mind having coffee with.
Evil spammers.

it seems bigger than it really is

I wonder if this guy has ever heard of a firewall, or bothered to learn anything about e-mail settings. Me thinks his energies could have been better directed.

Frankly, "outlawry" in the old-fashioned sense of the term (i.e. the target is placed outside the protection of the law, and may be done unto without penalty by anyone with the ability and inclination to do so) is probably the best solution to the spam problem. I doubt it would come to physical violence -- but it would guarantee that a spammer's server would be remotely converted into a large paperweight within minutes.
