Okay, last try...

Some ISPs, through their marketing ploys, actually encourage spammers. This 
is the point.

Did you read the abuse reply? (See below.) Conscientious ISPs appreciate spam 
reports. And big commercial ISPs that spawn *huge* amounts of spam need to 
take responsibility for what they do to encourage spamming. They do indeed 
offend.

I'm out of this discussion, too many straw man arguments...
