Why would it be appropriate for a company that
makes entries into large databases be the
judge of what is appropriate?
Censorship is fine for those who wish to abide by it
and for those to whom administrative power has been
given.
I think it is wholly inappropriate for us to think
we should foist our morays on to our clients. Doubly
so in a global marketplace.
It is certainly within your bounds to do by choice,
but I wouldn't shop in a place where I was told whether
my choices were acceptable to the RSP or not.
...it's just my opinion. Live and let live.

Okay, this is a joke right? well, sort of..
A customer of ours just registered a domain that started with the
"f-word" at domaindirect.com
We had refused to register it, since we have strong feelings about the
wisdom of registering such names AND we were advised by opensrs support
that they were constrained by network solutions rules and would not
register such names.
We don't plan to start handling these names, since the repurcussions of
name@fu**this.com are very negative for our business, but I am suprised
that domaindirect.com, a Tucows company would do this, when opensrs
staff advised us that they would not / could not do it.
