Ok, say you have an ISP and some asshole is makeing your life
hell, costing you time (and therefore money) by doing something
basically very uncool that you hadn't allowed for in your AUP.

Now, the margins on running an ISP are very tight. Do
you really want to spend 4 hours a day of your, or your
staffs time to get this idiots $25 a month ?

Incidentally, we don't call it the Allisat clause
we call it the Bruce M. Lloyd clause, or just the
"asshole clause".
