[tor-relays] Aggressive abuse report

[Florentin Rochet]

Hi Maarten (and others who answered back),

I got a few more mail exchange with them. I tried to educate a bit and 
it seems they agreed (not explicitly) that the right to privacy is 
something that should not be removed to people due to the illegal 
actions of a few others. They told me to be forced by law, as a service 
provider, to do their best to reduce this kind of illegal traffic.

I told them I will reject targeted IPs seen in more than one complain. 
In my opinion, that's an appropriate tradeoff. Right now, it seems that 
I will not get banned :-)

I appreciate the help,

Florentin
