And the actual customers are the advertisers, not the persons using "free"

That's an excellent point. It doesn't help with the blacklisting, but I think it drives to the point of why policy might be the way it is and why it might work for them as-is. It doesn't hurt ad revenue if one of their users can't receive something from me, and it might help their ad revenue to keep the signal-to-noise ratio as high as possible. So there may be an incentive on their end to be strict.

I'm not saying I like it, but I think I can accept the reality of it.
