“This idea of regarding the distribution of documents informing people on how to fix their computers by allowing virus protection to be installed into their computer to prevent 127.0.0.1 from hacking into their network in order to view their pornographic content and other most personal files of utmost secrecy - it is simply unfeasible and I will not be the poor sucker who would be caught down for suggestion that we allow this to continue.”

The number 127.0.0.1 put backwards has also been hinted at having connections with the many different circles of hell worlds. Yes, worlds, not regions. Ahem! When inscribing 1.0.0.127 on a Septagram (7 points!) and chanting "Cock-a-doddle-doo!", the invoker can in call such creatures as the dreaded Sobig from the nether worlds (although some connection of this demon to the nether regions has been suspected for a long time.

Any user who willingly uses 127.0.0.1 willingly as his address, is, obviously, quite mad. Not only hideous and deformed but also perverted beyond words, and reason.
