Hi,
I don't like getting spam. I dislike the fact that I am
inconvenienced. I have not yet decided to give in, though. And, in
my opinion, bouncing mail from people innocent of sending spam is
giving in to spammers.
I ifnd this phenomena remniscent of may people in the trhoes
of a war: they become obsessed by the enemy; and collateral damage is
increasingly acceptable in the pursuit of the war.
I have not yet gotten that numbed out.
The problem with DUL is that they don't care if the people
blocked ever sent any spam. The have the wrong color ski^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
type of connection, and must be the enemy.
Frankly, it is an arbitrary criteria to reject mail, based on
an assumption that people from those kind of net neighborhoodsare
more likely to commit crimes, since criminals in them there
neighborhoods are less likely to be caught and punished. The Net
version of racial profiling.
Personally, if I get a bounce from anywhere telling me they
have blacklisted me, I return the favour.
It's all going to end in heat death anyway.

Perhaps the most widespread illusion is that if we were in power we
would behave very differently from those who now hold it -- when, in
truth, in order to get power we would have to become very much like
them. (Lenin's fatal mistake, both in theory and in practice.)
