Concern is perhaps too strong a word, but I have been following the 
topic.

I think it is apparent that most of this is a rather large 
misunderstanding, and perhaps an exercise in what is considered 
appropriate by different people.

As you yourself can tell, you have had some success from your emails, 
and some folk have reacted differently.  This is human nature, and we 
(the moderators) do not control that.  It is the view of each user as to 
whether they feel they have been spammed or not.

Yes the idea of blacklists was mentioned by some folk, but it was 
discouraged by others, and those who were putting the idea forward then 
changed their minds. This is just discussion.

I have closed the forum thread 
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/410471?replies=16 as I do not think 
there was any more useful information to be added there.  If you feel 
differently, it can be re-opened.  it is not a big deal.

I think that many people would have preferred not to have had this issue 
discussed across an open forum, but that is how the original user began 
their discussion, and so that was how it was concluded.  This, I think, 
is one risk of using cold email tactics, as it will inevitably result in 
some degree of unfavourable feedback, no matter how good your intentions 
may be.
