If you don't like the rules- then change the damned protocol. Stop just doing whatever you want and then complaining when other people disagree with you.
I think this last part is the key. Remember the old adage: "My network, My rules"? Have we forgotten that?Should I not block ports for MS protocols when a new worm spreads because it would break the E-2-E principal? What about spam filtering? Or a myriad of other things. Everyone here is breaking some RFC somehow. And most of us don't give a rats ass. Which is the way it should be.
But when you decide that YOUR violation is MY problem to fix, then you are just being silly. And worse, annoying.
Let's all just agree to run our own networks the way we damned well please, as long as we are not hurting anyone else. We just have to define "omplaining to you about things I b0rk'ed by myself" as "hurting you". Which isn't a stretch, support costs money, and costing me money because you screwed up is definitely hurtful.
-- TTFN, patrickP.S. To be clear, no, your pr0n site not resolving because I don't support TCP does not qualify as "hurting you" unless I call you to complain about it, even if it loses you revenue.
