Thinking back about this thread we've had lately around IXes, I have

It is I assume the IX's responsibility to protect members from
harming each other through the peering LAN.
That depends what you mean by protect. Any IX participant must
remember that they're sharing an infrastructure with (by and large)
competitors, and that there are particular miscreant activities that
you as an IX participant must guard against, which your IX operators
can't completely protect you from (I'm thinking pointing default, or
attacks on port-facing router interfaces.)
both is imho not inherent to an IXP environment but may also happen on
private peerings.
