No.  He called the blacklist of his IP address clueless.

The blacklist is on what is obviously my private domain. It can therefore be fairly assumed that *I* put it there. An inanimate thing cannot be "clueless", because a label of cluelessness is a comment about knowledge. It is necessarily directed at the person who has done the action to put that thing in place. This is logic 101 - in fact in a logic course it would usually be given as an example of an ad hominem.
