I strongly disagree with the goal and tone of your post. A user disagreed with your approach and he made civilized arguments and did not "run around and scream". Obviously, others agreed with him and downvoted your question, but it's entirely possible that the user in question didn't vote at all, neither on the question nor the answer.

Did you consider that it might just be the case that you are wrong, that your analogies are not all that compelling after all and that people where right when downvoting you? Or, alternatively, that this is a matter of opinion where more than one viewpoint is valid and a majority of voters don't share yours?

  • Your analogies are not compelling. Spam blocking and fail2ban style blocking are separate things that share only a superficial resemblance but have rather different implications on the operation of a system.
  • I have a different viewpoint and I don't think your solution is useful and I would likely never consider to use it. This is an informed view based on experience with the crappy band-aid called RBLs. I can see that others might disagree and start to use either your solution or something similar, which is their right.

Quite frankly, I don't get why you are so upset that someone disagreed with you and you lost some fake internet points. If you can't live with this, maybe [SF] is not the site for you.
