Stupid recruiters.

It is extremely unlikely that a recruiter from an offshore recruiting
sweatshop is ever going to be hired into a local company that you want
to work for. If they have annoyed you, I say go ahead and antagonize
them for recreational purposes. ;-)

PS I particularly loved the statement about how allowing your resume to
exist on a job portal when you are unavailable is illegal.

Would you really want to work for a company with obnoxious recruiters?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But it is generally better to avoid antagonizing people if you can avoid
it.  Today's troll may be tomorrows hiring manager, or even internal
referral for an open req ...

But if you're going to screw with someone, recruiters are probably the
least threatening.
