Then gripe at the people who chose to use it: it was *their*
decision, and if it was a poor one, then they are the people
who need to be held accountable for it.
Look, if I want to publish a blocklist of all domains with the
string "er" in them and all IP addresses ending in .7, that would be
a silly thing to do: but after all, it's just a list. It doesn't
_do_ anything until someone decides to use it for some purpose.
And if they're insane enough to do so, well, <shrug>, so be it.
It's their system/network; they're free to decline any inbound
traffic they don't wish to receive. And you, and I, and everyone
else who's not on their system/network, don't get a vote.
