Gareth, Thank you for your response. I can imagine how this could turn into Oil and Gas incident and I certainly wouldn't want that for myself or anyone else. I'm still debating the privacy of CC:ing the group. As the majority of us do, I've received lots of abuse emails.... but none quite like this. What I have done here is brought the issue to the herd for protection instead of isolating the incident and keeping away from the rest of you. At the time I felt that everyone on the relay list might want to know about the individual, but in hindsight it was spam to most. I apologize for the spam.

As a fellow ISP owner running Tor Exits (AS28715) I also enjoy the "right" to treat abuse requests according to rules that only I write (UK legislation not withstanding) but IMHO we have a responsibility proportional to our "mere conduit" superpowers, both to the privacy of Tor users *and* crazy abuse@ emails from individuals. This could turn into another Mozilla / Oil and Gas thing ( https://arstechnica.co.uk/security/2017/03/firefox-gets-complaint-for-labeli... ) _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org<mailto:tor-relays@lists.torproject.org> https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
