You need to set aside your obvious disdain for religion so you can see this for what it is. This isn't censorship or even an attempt at an organized boycott as far as I can tell. This is good old fashioned market forces at work. And, frankly, while I'm not a very religious person, I've always hated the ads too and as a direct result have never even considered using GoDaddy.
- ErrantX 18y agoAgain fair point (sorry, the intention was not to turn HN into a religion.vs debate :( that's not for here). I think my main point was the huge emphasis on the story - definitely (and I dont think it is because of my bias) born out of the religious nature of the complaint. If yourself were hosting a few thousands sites with GoDaddy and had objected in the same way (from a non-religious stance) and sent the same letter would it have made such a big story.... As I always say (it might be my catch phrase :P) "each to his own, and leave me to mine". [for the record in case people misconstrue my bias I have great respect for faith (to a point, obviously); but I believe religious organisations to often be an evil force]
