Why not? It's not like it's internic's problem that some
people/programmers do stupid things.

Blacklists wouldn't work anyway, and it's, again, not internic's fault
or problem.

And there is no reason to use a web-based client when all serious
networking operating systems come with a whois client supplied (or at
least very, very easily installed).
