I'm not talking about the affiliate losing his $, I'm talking about Robbie making some from the efforts of the spammer. You cut off a spammer but continue to take his sales, then you're benefiting from that "method" of promotion. Note I'm not accusing him of anything, I have no idea what his stance on this is, I'm just saying that IMHO the only ethical thing to do is block any traffic to that affiliate link.
