My ISP's job is to provide internet access. Blocking ports violates that. Would you condone an ISP relaying all port 80 traffic to reduce forum spam?

To keep you from denying internet (i.e, email) access to everyone else, they should block the port by default, then unblock it if you demonstrate that you know what you're doing by calling them up and asking them to unblock it.

Seems harmless enough. Agreed?
