To "to threten, harass, or generally make a nuicence"[SIC] of himself, one must violate this pledge, and there would no-doubt still be legal results.
Clearly threats of violence are not considered legal by most libertarians, including the Libertarian Party of the US. Furthermore, there is no reason why an ISP has to connect to another ISP. ISPs that do more harm than good may not be invitied to participate in major switiching centers. -Thomas
