Points 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17 are outside the scope of the discussion and for all intents and purposes, irrelevant.
5 & 8. This is the entire point of the debate. Also, it is a private property issue. I can, with my node, store whatever data I want (given the right software).
13. Incorrect. Not accepting transactions in the first place reduces the spam not pruning it later. (which you can still do if the transaction gets included in a block)
All of these other included tangential points are utilitarian nonsense. The "You can't save everyone so, why save anyone?" mentality. Filters don't work but remove them because they don't work... Nonsense. A non propagation of spam using a personal mempool policy allows you to vote what a miner sees FROM YOU. The fact that other people have a different opinion is irrelevant to what you do with your machine.
