On your site you say your server functions to:
"resolve names for Rocknyou.com, log scans
and evil-do-ers attempting to breakin, and sometimes for fun I run
nmap  back at those bad nodes."
(http://www.rocknyou.com/aboutme.html)
So since tonight is Halloween (GMT -6), would you prefer to be "Pot" or 
"Kettle?" :)

There are perfectly valid reasons to get scanned, especially by a well 
known white-hat tool like Nessus.  Script-kiddies and spammers have much 
more robust/directed tools than a general purpose (slow) tool like Nessus.

And from the link you sent about Midco, it looks like they did a fine 
job responding to your request; probably better than most *SP's would do.

Hmmm, so this is up there with SPAM right? do nothing about it cause its
just life. Thats just how Spam has gotta to be such a problem. No one
reports
it because "its a fact of life", which is the reason why its now such a
problem.
Instead of reporting it and getting ISPs to enforce AUP/TOS the answer is to
just deal with it? lol, not.
After years working and dealing in this industry I'm not about to just give
in to
the AOL/Microsoft ways and means.

Well enough said, just a little frustrated at this point, sorry all.

a) scans from all over are a fact of life on the internet.

b) harassing sources of scans and their upstreams is a DoS attack on 
yourself. Send an email, and if you feel paranoid, filter.
