Downstrike's definitions
The horrific emaelstrom that ensues after a spammer discovers that some careless email newsletter sender has left his email server open, allowing the spammer to send an offensive message to all the newsletter's subscribers, making it appear that the offensive message is from the newsletter.
Since most of the subscribers were wondering how the heck they got on the "newsletter" to begin with, their automatic reaction to the offensive message is to reply with rude, and sometimes threatening, demands to be unscubscribed. The server then relays all the rude replies to all the subscribers.
The replies from the subscribers who receive the rude replies run from legalistic to tearful, to even more rude and threatening than the original rude replies.
Perhaps one subscriber out of a hundred will recognize that none of the offensive and rude messages were intended specifically for himself. He may even try to persuade the rioters to calm down, but few of them will notice his pleas for reason amongst all the crap in their inboxes.

I get caught in a spam riot at least once every year or two. When that happens, I typically receive about 200 email messages per hour.

Get the spam riotmug. 1. To hang out together, as in a clique, either out of loyalty or attraction to one another, out of disdain for others, or out of desperation when no one else will hang with you.
2. To take the heat together, either out of loyalty to one another, or when given no choice. Derives from the stereotypical lynching, which involves hanging from a noose.

1. No one else will have them, so the duh-weebs hang together.
2. If a lynch mob finds you with that perv when they catch him, you'll hang together.

Get the bagyerfacemug. The irrational insecurity felt by moralphobes; people living alternative lifestyles who realize that others find their lifestyles morally repugnant. Usual symptoms include retaliatory labeling with words such as homophobia and intolerance, and duh-weebish abuse of the recommend for deletion link.
The predictable political, (see politics), moralphobic response is to curb free speech and promote intolerance of the expression of moral values dissenting from their own.
