To me... I don't see this as Spam... Sure it might be from a chain letter. But does that mean it's spam?

I see spam as harrassing people by sending multiple messages containing the same content, containing un-wanted content or generally useless content. Where's the other time's he/she has posted this?

You might disagree with what is contained with the post, but running to the mod because you don't like the political beleifs of a person and claiming it is spam.. particularily in the General forum is not considered by me to be good form.

Unfortunately, that's not the entire definition of spam on these forums. See The ONe Stop Rules Shop (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=416023), posts 2 and 3, for some of the other variants. In addition to those, we've often held that posting an article that is simply a copy/paste with no discussion is spamming, so don't shout down a player who is following site rules, please.

As for this one, it looks OK to me. If he does this habitually, let us know.
