Note that black lists don't block anything. They just report. It's like a web page that lists some group that the author thinks meets some criteria.
Others can then use the black lists they trust to block unwanted traffic. I hardly consider either action to be unreasonable.
That's what the maintainers of black lists say, but in fact, the popular black lists are almost universally used by people who consider them a response to the spam problem without considering that the critera for being blacklisted and for being removed from blacklists are under control of the operators of the lists who guarantee no due process and are accountable to no one.
