Trying to win an argument by claiming your opponent is being childish
because they won't cave into your view, is a rather poor way at trying
to win it.  What I see as childish, here, is you trying to justify
racist-like behaviour and claiming that it isn't.

> i am also now a racist because I block entire ISP domains

Yes, that's the very definition of being prejudicial, since you want to
be pedantic about what YOU think the term racist means.  Whether you
want to be pedantic about "racist" being only a specific race is being
wet.  There isn't a "countryist" similar term.  If you're prejudiced
against an entire country, that's seen as a racist act by those in that
country.  Likewise, is advocating that response.  Whether that be Korea,
Russia, or any other commonly believed by be spam source.  If you
blocked the whole of my country, I'd regard it the same way, whether I
was Black, Caucasian, Yellow, or whatever.  And you'll find that most
citizens of any country will feel similarly.

No, I'm not.  And I'd be first in line buying $5 a punch tickets to beat
up a spammer.  Quite frankly, if I were, this would be the least of my
worries, there's a plethora of ways to circumvent that lame attempt at
dealing with spam.  But it's next to impossible to do legit internet
activity when some idiot sabotages the internet by making certain top
level domains unworkable.

Incompetent admins, who cannot manage spam properly, and resort to carte
blanche blocking, ARE another problem in themselves.  Likewise for any
other seriously stupid ideas they implement about how to tell apart spam
from non-spam.  It takes a hell of a good two-by-four whacking over
their head to make them realise that what they do is NOT a good
solution, it's clear that you need quite a lot more.  Yes, the very
notion of black lists is flawed, the implementation of them even more
so.
