Of course. They are trying to act innocent. But assuming that
everyone who claims to be innocent is in fact a spammer is a bit far
fetched.
It's nice that you've never had your email blocked. I can assure you
that I've not had the same wonderful experience.
Adults are allowed to take risks. They're allowed to put their life's
savings into the stock market or a business, and risk losing much or all
of it. Adults should also be allowed to make those same tradeoffs (risk
of legitimate email loss in return for reward of a spam-free inbox) with
their choice of ISP or spam-blocking method. People who barge in and
yell and scream that their email *MUST* go through face an uphill
struggle for credibility. Don't blame the people who view your demands
with suspicion, blame the spammers who have been making the same demands
for the past few years.

Email users are divided into two classes;
1) Those who have effective spam-blocking
2) Those who wish they did
