Come on, come on. This sentence, as written is outrageous. And even if
we read it as "if you have not made", it still remains unacceptable. My
garden isn't protected by barbed wire but that is not an invitation to
piss on the roses.

Pierre I think you fail to realise just exactly what it means to be a
member of an Internet running the IP family of protocols!

If you don't want packets from someone then you have to explicitly block
those packets -- you can't expect them not to be sent just because you
don't expect them to be sent!
