This doesn't counter the text you've replied to.  There is no
server-side exemption for /stopping/ someones use of their software on
thier own machine.

It's been proven not to:

And again, you're not listening.  You continue to model your arguments
after child-like bickering, by reposting and reposting a statement of
position without addressing the evidence that has already defeated
your claim (twice in this case).

It's also fallacy of repetition.  It's also intellectual dishonesty to
post bogus shell output, which can only fool people who don't use Tor.
You posted the misinfo without thinking to add "torsocks" after
pasting, and to fabricate the download time to resemble that of a tor
circuit, and you got caught.  It's really a bad idea when anyone with
Tor can easily verify that the DoS is still in force as I write this
(March 10th).
