Or are you just referring to killing innocent, unarmed and unarmored travelers on the only path between their portal and their destination?
Both seem like dick moves to me.
I believe that any obstruction of the road intended to make it unpassable is a form of griefing. However, coincidental damage do to pvp related activities is perfectly reasonable, so long as the responsible party (if he survives) attend to cleaning up the mess. On the other hand, non-obstructive "damage" such as strongholds, side passages, and hunting blinds are perfectly reasonable additions to any part of the nether.
If you believe it's at all difficult to get between any two points in the nether without use of the road, then you aren't qualified for this discussion. The network of bridges, stairways, scaffolding and inteconnecting tunnels makes bypassing any obstacle in the nether trivial. If you are really too ignorant to find a path over a lava pit, perhaps you should mine a stack of netherack and make one. Or can you not find netherack either?
I have taught first day noobs to get from Spawn City to Abyssus and Roanoke in safety. I don't see why you aren't able to do it.
Finally, there is no such thing as an "innocent" traveller in the nether. The nether is full pvp, period. If your're not willing to accept the risks, stay out moron.
The only real thing you have on the internet is your reputation.
