I agree.

I understand what people are trying to protect against (attacks, DDoS yada yada yada).

But sadly what I have been seeing a lot of is tarnishing people with the same brush.

For example, there are many genuine and legitimate reasons for people to use a VPN service.

And yet in recent months I have been seeing an attitude by many website operators that "its a VPN IP therefore it must 
be bad".

Its like, come on guys.  Playing whack-a-mole blocking IP addresses is so 1990.  You have much better tools at your 
disposal these days.

I would also love to hear how these whack-a-mole lovers plan on continuing their attitude when IPv6 becomes even more 
prevalent !
