My opinion too.

SORBS refuses to say where I must avoid connecting to to avoid being
attacked by them[%].  They try to impose an acceptance of testing as a
condition of connecting, without providing any means for the connecting
party to discover that the peer thinks this "bargain" is in place in
time to decline the deal - and using protocols that do not include any
way to negotiate such conditions in normal use.

And that makes what they do abuse, in my book.

SORBS: you do not have permission to attack - whether or not you call
it "test" - any host in my network, ARIN block RODENTS-BLK2
(216.46.5.0/28).  Please take whatever measures are necessary to ensure
this.  This may mean adding them to a "never test" list, it may mean
having the feeder hosts refuse connections - whatever it takes.  I
reject your attempts to respin your abuse into acceptable behaviour,
same as I did the eu.org folks (who took about five rounds of "that
sort of behaviour is *NOT* acceptable here!" before they went "oh, duh,
you mean you don't want us to do that?", furrfu!).  For confirmation,
you can contact the netblock contact, or you can note that this message
is signed with the PGP key whose fingerprint has been in my signature
approximately forever.  (The key itself is in
ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca:/ftp/mouse/misc/pgp-key-mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca
and I think may be in a keyserver somewhere too - id D760BF75.)

I will be sending a copy of this (with the quotes above removed) to
support@sorbs.net.

[%] Yes, I've read the message in which Mat says "SORBS is me".  I
    speak of SORBS as plural above because that is the canonical way to
    speak of an organization impersonally.
