Why exactly do you want to go to a competitor?
CloudFlare is fantastic and they have a lot of Free services
2. Supports Booters, script kiddies, and pay-to-play blackhat hackers
3. Fucks over Tor any chance they can get.

Proof for said allegations:

A: He continually berates because "he called and Brian Krebs never responded"
B: Cloudflare CEO states that the booters (ddos pay-as-you-go sites protected by cloudflare) don't even pay, or pay with stolen credit cards. And admits is "just a disaster".
C: Direct insult towards Krebs onstage "Well, who needs to actually ask questions as a journalist?" 48:08 [/Youtube Video]

I'm not sure I see this from your perspective; multiple people in the crowd clap after your point "C", and much more clapping is heard when he sits down. If I were forced to classify the behavior (edit:specifically at 48:08) I would choose "smartass". The entire discussion is interesting in light of what happened recently with Uber/Kalanick.
He was invited on stage, and continually berates Krebs. He could have did that graciously, but instead continually insults. He admits that when the Booters do pay, they're paid with stolen CCs. And then, finally attacks Krebs' standing as a Journalist.
Uh, no. Absolutely not. No way, no how.
I'll deal with Google, Amazon, Microsoft.. Whomever for a CDN. I'm not touching CloudFlare.
I personally appreciate the willingness to be true to oneself with a quick-witted reply rather than 100% PR-safe professionalism all the time. However, I don't mean to imply that your impression somehow should change or that you should change your decision! My world would be so much nicer if I could just avoid working with people that rubbed me the wrong way.

But the content is about if CloudFlare will kick off booters off their platform. And he defends them, EVEN after saying they don't even pay.
This isn't a "Should we let the KKK march in the streets?", or "Should $sexist group be able to spread propaganda?". This issue is directly about people who harm the fabric of the Internet, and the companies that knowingly allow it and continue to propagate it.
I get defending controversial things in terms of defending Free Speech. But these skiddies want to precisely use their "Free Speech" and actions to deprive others of it.
