  Of course not. Choosing whether to retain or terminate a customer does not qualify as moderating content. The case you're citing was a very different situation.

This situation wouldn't have applied to most LiveJournal communities -- ONTD is a special case, as it's sponsored directly by LJ -- and certainly cannot apply to a web host or ISP.
