When the net has a problem, it usually routes around the problem. That's why it's "the net". DARPA designed it this way mostly; newer fixes have endeavoured to make it so. Other wise it becomes brittle and subject to breakage.
So the first thing to remember is that the bad guys will figure out some way around Lycos eventually.
The second thing is, as others have pointed out, suppose the christian right decides to get their people to do this to porn sites?
Suppose W. gets his supporters to do this to dissenters?
Suppose 10,000 people out there shut down whatever YOU hold dear?
The spammers need to face trial by law; then capital punishment can be administered.
