You say that as if it were a bad thing.

Instead of casting aspersions on people with the guts to block big
providers who deserve it, maybe you'd be better served by convincing
said providers to be less of a "virus nest"?  (It wouldn't hurt to
convince .de itself to be a bit more civilized whiel you're at it;
their whois server is bizarrely broken.)

No, their being big does not earn Schlund - or .de - a free pass.  Big
entities deserve, and need, to be held to *stricter* standards than
small.
