You actually are saying what I said, just you misunderstand your own point. You clipped my entire statement to make it appear to say something else.

A TOR node, in and of itself, is not infrastructure for passing packets. It's a service on the infrastructure. I never implied that the traffic through/from the ISP or the TOR was more or less legal than the other.

No they are not. See previous.
