Why do you find this sickening? This is the internet. The SORBS identifies open http proxies, which are usually *not* open through any choice of the owner, but because the owner has not made them secure. Using SORBS protects Wikipedia from the negligence of your ISP.
With the happy side effect of also protecting us from Waerth and a few million Thais. Great!</sarcasm>
Presumably this is due to the activities of the Thai government rather than Wikipedia. I still don't see why it should be regarded as "sickening" that Wikipedia doesn't provide a one-stop proxy doctoring service. The developers and systems people are run off their feet just keeping the servers running.
