My reaction was based on the interview where they say that the 30k$ charge was harming, not killing them. You're more knowledgeable than me on CloudFlare and it may very well be a strong option. Now in a way their $ penalty with this attack is not unlike growth. To me it sounds like they invested in their branding and will have a name as a company that can sustain damage and keep its ground - important because their goal is to be credible in bringing content in/out China. What if they had given in? They'd be yet another victim of an attack sort of linked with China. I do see a business sense behind what I assumed was their moral stance and I definitely stand by it.
