FCN gives no contacts for the Domain names registered here. It is no-one's business who registers with us. We are not in the business of acting as snitches for overly snoopy and prying computer system administrators. If any- one has a problem they can contact the police and, accompanied with an appropriate court order we will be happy to comply with any real, legitimate investigation. Otherwise fork off, nosey nerds, it's none of your darned business.
So in other words if an fcn host is found to be originating denial of service attacks, you suggest we contact the local police and FBI rather than ringing you up and asking you to disable their ongoing attacks. And in the time it takes to process a court order you will continue to allow those hosts to originate smurf/pingfloods etc. Gotcha. So noted. So we now know that when an fcn host is conducting denial of service attacks, we should immediately start the paperwork filing for criminal negligence and punitive damages ahead of time. -Dan

It seems like what he is really saying is if you are under DOS from one of FCN's host, don't pass go, don't collect $200, just go straight to his upstream provider and inform them that one of their customers, FCN, is the originating network of (insert DOS type) and ask that they turn down that connection until the problem is resolved. This way Bob's "innocent" customers will lose their net access at the same time as his "guilty" ones would. In the process giving him something else to complain about on NANOG (which is likely the real reason he endorses this plan)... Just my theory of course, I mean I COULD be wrong.
