Yes. Regardless, protests like this never achieve anything apart from wasting peoples time. If you don't like GoDaddy, or disagree with some of their policies, don't use them. It's the whipping people up into an internet hate mob unconcerned with any facts that I find distasteful.

> If you don't like GoDaddy, or disagree with some of their policies, don't use them. ... that's exactly what we're doing. What, do you think we're firebombing GoDaddy's headquarters and killing its executives?

  You're also posting endless articles (Not you personally ;) ), trying to poke everyone else into doing the same.

    Uh, yeah. A boycott isn't a boycott if nobody knows about it. If you don't want to join us, then don't. Nobody is making you move your domains away.

Regardless, protests like this never achieve anything apart from wasting peoples times. It's ironic you should say this. The type of people who think exactly this, is imo the reason nothing ever gets done as well. What I'm seeing is people doing something (voting with their wallet). As the saying goes All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. If you don't like GoDaddy, or disagree with some of their policies, don't use them. It's the whipping people up into an internet hate mob unconcerned with any facts that I find distasteful. You may have a point. Many people don't take the time to check facts, they instead rely on the moral compass of their peers to take a direction. That's how the world usually works and it won't change tomorrow. However, in this case precisely, I fail to see which facts you'd like to bring to light, that would play in GoDaddy's favor, or how someone would take the time to move their domains without some prior understanding of why they're doing it. Also, what exactly qualifies this as a 'hate mob' rather than an angry mob?
