  They'll do that anyway.

  This is not a effective deterrent.  It's the security equivalent of
masturbation.  It may make you feel good, but that's all it's doing.

  If you really want to do something effective, lookup the owner of
the IP block and contact their abuse desk, and/or report the source IP
address to one of the various network abuse reporting systems.

  But hey, if you're just looking to feel good, by all means,
continue.  Who am I to tell you to stop having fun?
