Sure, but he was trolling for money Eric. That's the real problem. It 
wasn't just an announcement of his running for congress, which would 
have been offtopic but probably bearably so. He pretty clearly posted 
specifically to solicit donations under the dubious justification of 
being a Celtics fan and of course we'd like to support that. Like 
there aren't any others in congress and like that justifies spamming the list.
