Fair, but we are talking about blocking just OP's site, correct? OP flagging a bot doesn't take down that ISP's access to the internet, unless I'm grossly misunderstanding the power any individual site owner has.
So is that such a bad thing? If OP is going to use this to provide data about bots, blocking mass amounts of the internet could actually be a terrific example of how many people are at least tangentially connected to bots.
