Literally just 11 post before this there is a first hand account of someone doing exactly what you are saying people are just paranoid about. The sample size of people reading this topic is small. Yet you still call people paranoid.
When someone asks you a favour and your response is 'No because the absolute worst thing imaginable might happen' then you're a paranoid and unreasonable person. I'm not saying it never happens, I'm saying on the list of reasons to say no, that would be way towards the bottom for anyone who is reasonable.
"Hey can I borrow your phone to make a quick call?"
'No, because you might use it to groom a child'
You don't see how that's an unreasonable and extreme train of thought?
There's also no proof that the guy in that story was going to use OP's internet to do his dirty work. That's just an assumption, and one that I think isn't likely.
