Has Adam Dicker, owner of DNForum.com, ever been affiliated with GoDaddy.com or any of GoDaddy.comâs subsidiaries or auction platforms?
All we want to know is who is making these decisions, and are they coming from Bob Parsons personally, or his team?
That's clearly not Rand and daddy Ron Paul's reasoning. Yes, the gun example is poor, although it could be said that there may be personality differences between gun possessors and non-possessors. The reasoning is the following:People often fail to understand this principle. A recent public example is KY senate candidate Rand Paul asking why a business can refuse to allow people in with guns, but cannot discriminate on the basis of race. He argues that the right to have a gun is a Constitutional right, so why can a business discriminate against one and not the other?
What Rand Paul does not understand is that a person with a gun can put down the gun, go inside, and do business, and that "having a gun" is not an immutable personal characteristic. In other words, if you are white, you can put down the gun, go inside and do business. If you are Asian, you can put down the gun, go inside, and do business. However, if the sign says, "No Asians", then someone is going to have a hard time doing business there, because "Asian-ness" is not something the Asian can leave at the door.
Nice!There is, however, no law in the US against discriminating against assholes. You seem to have run into that problem with GoDaddy, who has made, in their sole discretion, the determination that you are one. This is too bad, because assholes do seem to be frequent targets of discrimination.

You will need to
transfer your domains to a new Registrar and obtain a new provider for
any hosting and other services which currently exist in your accounts
within this 30-day period. Your accounts will be locked on June 5, 2010.
As far as I am concerned you stole the domains ouoa.com and ouks.com and until you prove otherwise that statement stands.
assholes do seem to be frequent targets of discrimination.
He was taking it from a constitution and free market standpoint which got severely twisted.
No, just like the folks that want a re-match of the Civil War, he was re-hashing a loser argument that was settled more than 40 years ago. (Atlanta Motel v. United States, 379 U.S. 241 (1964) http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=379&page=241)
