I have nothing to do with any domain name company or interest, beyond being a consumer (as many here) of a company not related to any in the story. I endorse samlev's caution. Given past history with GoDaddy, I'm willing to believe they're not being above board, but I'd like more evidence before I join the lynch mob.

Let's be a bit less in a hurry to sling around accusations of astroturfing, OK?



No, I have to side with newobj here. People protesting "internet mobs" seems to have become some sort of strange meme over the past few days/weeks. I don't know where the idea came from, but I've been seeing it exclusively used against anti-SOPA/godaddy people. And I am seeing it primarily from accounts that are younger than 2 or so months.....

Seriously people, this isn't medieval mob justice. We're not burning down a widow's home. Worst case scenario if we're wrong is a few stock tickers dip for a few days. Cut it out with this "omg mob justice" shit.
