Anyone who has has web sites for a decade or more can discuss the "merits" of Network Solutions.
I won't. There is just nothing bad enough to say about them without shouting and swearing. Just leave it that I am not surprised in the least. They love non-negotiable fiats.
I just looked over their website. Gotta wonder what sort of wet-paper-bags are behind such a company. It reeks of political correctness in its communications. It’s got to be a women/minority owned front.
They most likely consider their business to be much like an ATM that spits out as much money as they ask it to, with no end to the cash stream, and they are hoping to avoid controversy and taking a stand of any sort.
They probably never considered that their business is much like a book publisher's, in that they occasionally have to make a choice between taking a stand and being a worm. Hopefully they will be effectively educated as to their position in the marketplace of ideas as a result of their networks and phone systems being completely overloaded and unusable for the next month or so. There's nothing quite like having your geyser of cash drying up to make people pause and think really hard about what's going on.
