EZZI.net Abuse Warning

[Ringo Kamens]

Some points to mention to EZZI.net are:
Your computer is secure and has not been hacked. You participate in
the tor project which has the backing of the EFF.
The IRC network can ban the IPs of tor servers if they would like to
because the information is public.

Remember to explain what tor is and why we need it. Be friendly and
everything should turn out ok as long as your ISP allows hosting.
