My leech policy is pretty similar: if the leech is not greedy and if there is bandwidth available I may allow the download. If the bandwidth gets too tight leeches are the first ones to get throttled or kicked.
Some tolerance in leech control is well in place IMO. More than once a 0-sharer has turned out to be ok after all. Some unshare temporarily due to technical reasons. Thousands of new people keep flowing into p2p networks every day so there are always genuine newbies around who need just a little education on how to share and why it is important. There are also good folks behind corporate firewalls who cannot share from where they are but may share from home or even be willing to send you mp3s in snailmail if you have a word with them. But of course there are always also a few diehard leeches to whom the ignore list is the only rightful place...
