You're misunderstanding what I tried to say there. When you send something to the Tor entry, it
is encrypted. The only time it's not encrypted is when the Tor exit communicates with the destination, and hence the exit node will see what you send (but cannot trace it back to you).
See these pictures. The double arrows (===>) denote encrypted traffic while the single arrows (--->) denote unencrypted traffic.. This is when you send something:
Code:
You ===> TorEntry ===> TorMiddle ===> TorExit ---> Destination
This is when you receive something:
Code:
You <=== TorEntry <=== TorMiddle <=== TorExit <--- Destination
