Not the person you are asking but site operators can not tell intent. It could be something nasty on the network or a botter feigning ignorance.

I'd say its probably an acceptable casualty in the battleground that is the internet especially for little one-off sites hosting blogs, forums, chat servers, etc... For a bigger site I would expect that person may have to open a ticket with the platform such as Amazon accepting that some CDN's and firewalls may be harder to get the block removed. This is why we can't have nice things.
