Did you actually read what he said? He *IS* attempting to protect his
network. What's wrong with asking your ISP to null route an abusive
host? Its pretty common practise, especially when the network that an
abusive host resides on doesnt give a shit. Go back to your XSS, kiddie;
the grown-ups are trying to talk.

It's actually not.  You shouldn't really be null routing netblocks that
you aren't routing.  Filter them out towards your customer would be better
practice.  However that's probably not going to happen on a $40/month
contract.
