Ah, I understand, now.

As a person who receives around 100 spam messages a day, and who has to 
waste time each day, modifying spam filters, and creating new filters to 
deal with the mutating spam, leading to the policy that spammers should 
be executed, or kneecapped (and the same done to their elbows and 
wrists), or locked up in a dark room with no modern conveniences, 
like warmth or light or cooked food, for the rest of their lives, I 
apparently misconstrued the reference.
