What Milo does is one thing. What the "church" does is another.

The "church" has a business model of provoking people into confronting them physically so they can sue them. Basically they really run to daddy when they get slapped for poking someone in the eye.

I think munnin_ has it right. We once killed a sizeable deal here (at easyDNS) because it included providing DNS for the Westboro church domains. We just didn't want any part of it.

Again - our decision, no coercion.

Westboro has a right to speak (although not to disrupt the activities of others). But nobody has to agree to give them a platform.

The big distinction is: are you acting under your own volition or under coercion.
