I don't. The isp is forced to censor, so they choose to also censor the entity that abused the system.

Exactly. There is a huge difference between wanting to censor your enemies and not wanting to censor anybody but being forced to, and then responding by doing so in a balanced rather than asymmetric way.

It would be best for the ISP not to be blocking anything, but given that is not a permitted option...
