Though there can be some context, in general
harassing and busywork for ISP is indeed not good.
Especially when Tor has recourse and discipline
of simply dropping the nodes from consensus
with log referral. That's the better way, nodes will
get clue eventually.

Another bettwer way is creating anti-Sybil web of trusts
and node selection meta metrics that operators and
users can contribute to and choose among. Which
is still an open project ripe and waiting since *years*
to be done by whoever wants to explore it.
