Freedom of Speech includes freedom FROM speech. IOW, if it starts
infringing on your rights, then it stops. Spam is unsolicited,
commercial email, and it could possibly be argued that just as the
spammer has the right to say whatever it is that he wants, we also
have the right not to get his email. This can also get very
convoluted.
Besides that, it's just impolite.
