Then the ISP is obviously either incompetent or deliberately aiding the
spammers. Why should you even consider anything less than blacklisting
every netblock the ISP has?

What do you do if the ISP says "We want to turn them off, but they've managed
to get a restraining order preventing us"?  We've seen THAT before....

Then the part above about

obviously does not apply. They are responding. You clearly do not even consider
blacklisting them.

You might ask them for help in blacklisting exactly the spammer's addresses.
