The website also advises that sniffing exit traffic is potentially a crime.

(http://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faq.html.en#ExitSnooping)

So I very much think you are mistaking the perspective of the website
operators. Please don't confuse the realistic position of "We can't
prevent this from happening" from the "we approve of this activity".

Can you exactly point out places where the website seems to suggest
that "anything goes" is actually permitted?  Any such text should be
corrected, because it's not correct. It isn't permitted to do these
things, to the extent that the tor developers and community can stop
these activities they will (but the extent is very limited).

The chances of receiving email from the weirdos here can be minimized
by unsubscribing from this mailing list.
Just saying! :-)
