I don't see that as "doing the bad guys’ work for them". I see it as
preventing bad guys escalating from hurting a few people to doing
serious damage. That's not "punishing the victim".

It prevents escalation, yes. But at the expense of exiling the targeted
people from the network - which may well be the attacker's real intent.

Any "solution" that turns a general problem into a problem for a small
number of *specific individuals* is not a solution, it's a lynching. I'm
sure those specific individuals will be thankful that they've been
thrown under the bus for the greater good. I'm sure nobody else will be
looking over their shoulder wondering whether they'll be next.

We solve this issue for *everyone*, or we all go home.

Hi,

maybe I don't get the original idea - but I thought, it was to block *uploads/updates* which would poisson a certificate - not to blackhole them after they got poissoned?

cheers,
Erich
