I must admit he has a point there.

DDoS attacks do not violate the non-aggression principle, so in an anarchy they are fair game.

But just because you're not violating the non-aggression principle doesnt mean you are not being a huge asshole.

DDoS attacks are an exploitation of the website owner's generosity and violation of the good faith principles that keep the internet running. (the tragedy of the commons that allows spam and DDoS  is an inherent design flaw of the internet but that is a different topic)


This attack was a minor inconvenience for the community, but his ruined reputation is real autoregulation in action.
