I get it, but this is like kicking Barron Trump (the kid) out of your home because you don’t like his father.

I get that you’re angry, I get that they’re related, but the kid doesn’t really have a say in how the father behaves. Same with Putin and most Russians.

I could be protesting in Moscow and you’re still pulling the domain from me. That’s not ok.

I don’t have a stake in this, I just don’t want to deal with shit if my prime minister 10k miles away is an asshole.



It wasn't how a registrar should act. But it was a completely understandable way to act, and given their emotional distress at the time, I think they deserve a fuckton of slack when judging how bad this mistake was.

I probably would have done the same thing in their shoes.

As for prime ministers being assholes affecting you, that is just the reality of global politics. I could say 'vote better' but that doesn't help much.


> It wasn't how a registrar should act.

So we agree. If you act the wrong way, I won’t give you business. It’s not a hard concept, regardless of the motivations behind it.
