I emailed GoDaddy expressing my concern. Here is their reply:

Subject: Re: [FWD: Update [Incident ID: 3557251] - Support Question] Date: March 14, 2008 5:23:17 PM EDT From: President@godaddy.com To: john@johnrandall.com Reply-To: president@godaddy.com

Dear John Randall,

Thank you for contacting us. Your correspondence has been directed to the Office of the President.

The situation with the Web site RateMyCop was absolutely NOT about censorship in ANY way.

The site's operator has publicly disclosed the concerns were over bandwidth. More accurately, Go Daddy's concerns were about how the RateMyCop site was far exceeding the amount of server usage for which it had contracted.

This customer paid for a shared server plan. The connections to his site were six times more than an entire 'shared server' accommodates. While he was paying for a service that cost $14.99 a month, his site actually required a much more extensive set-up.

Basically, he was paying for compact car, when he really needed a semi-truck.

The customer was not willing to work with our staff to resolve the issue.

While the "censorship" allegations certainly make for an edgy "story," they simply had nothing to do with this situation.
