I hate spam as much as anyone.... but the "Blue Security" goroups tactics were not only silly on a technical level but bordering on DOS attacks themselves in some cases.

Spam seams to be one of those issues that people just freak out about and decide that the ends justify the means to stop - but it doesn't. Some groups that "fight spam" are little more than thugs themselves. This is especially applcable to the "black list" databases that so many companies blindly trust to filter their email.

If you admin the email for a company or run a server (I do both) then you will find that these groups (geek thugs) will arbitrarily add your ip / domain to the database and will refuse to tell you what reason there was. And you can forget about contacting them about it. End result? 3 or four "groups" control whether your company can send email and have it actually recieved by most clients.
