Isn't that a bit of an overreaction? If you didn't want any undesirable traffic you'd whitelist IPs in your firewall or run it on LAN. It's a very standard expectation that other servers will hit yours without your consent on the public internet.
I too believe that having something connected to the Internet without a firewall (et al.) filtering the connections is implicit agreement for someone to connect to the port. If for nothing other than lack of steps to prevent them from doing so.
In my opinion, being on the Internet is very much akin to being in public. You have exceedingly little, if any, expectation that someone won't try to connect to any port that they can communicate with.
As a Linode user, I would also prefer it if you didn't block Linode addresses carte blanch.
