MAPS doesn't harm people.  People harm people.  This is just like the guns
argument.  Guns don't kill.  People kill.  MAPS doesn't force themselves
on anyone...and having one (or a few) centralized blacklists with
informative web sites and clear policies is certainly better than the
alternative (every ISP with their own blacklist, nobody having a clue how
or the time to get off them all).
