I guess I should have been more clear .. I ran the tor node on an 
academic network, and we have our own ASN, so there's no "provider" to 
complain to (but that didn't stop them from trying .. one idiot used our 
public email/phone directory to email the president of our .edu). I'm 
also the ORG-ABUSE contact on our ARIN record, and I'm the one that 
reads security@ and abuse@.

I did, however, annoy Comcast in Indiana by using honeyd to "answer" 
every one of their stupid FTP/HTTP probes that they were sending out 
back in the day to see if you were running servers. Again, YMMV .. but 
their TOS is pretty clear on the issue :
