Can't you keep focused on the subject? Think about what you wrote here
and ask to yourself if this kind of sentence can bring something
useful to the thread.

Reread the thread. We were talking about blocking access to
_everyone_, not "spammer who dump garbage" but people explicitely
called innoncent, that have an ISP with a boring policy about spam.

Replace "you" (an identified person) by "everyone who have the ISP
XX" (a group of person with only one common thing, that not everybody
will think proeminent).
I would interested to see you can reach a consensus between Debian
Developers with this sentence.
Users of ISP XXX have no right to communicate with Debian
against Debian's wishes. Further, Debian has a right to refuse
to communicate with users of ISP XXX.
As AOL in the past was careless about spam (abuse@aol -> /dev/null),
it would mean for example that Debian would refuses communicating with
AOL users...

What a demonstration.
Blocking mails depending on the ISP people are using seems a lot less
clever than filtering mail by testing their content despite the fact
that the second option consume surely more resources in CPU time..
