Go-Daddy CEO kills elephant -- good reason to Boycott
Aside from the fact that they're nearly impossible to work with, this has made my decision for me. I won't be renewing my hosting service with them.

2. One guy who commented on the story had it right...
..."Moral of the story: A person can have a successful career and still be a loser."

That's just awful. :-(

3. No wonder I never liked GoDaddy and didn't want to use them.
Glad I didn't/don't.

:(

Bless those creatures....

4. These people are SICK..
What dark and empty souls they must have. http://www.nicknoltesafaris.com/plains_game.htm">People <--- (caution pics of wild animals that have been slaughtered by "hunters" for fun and sport!) who do this are beneath contempt as far as I'm concerned.

- Geeze. What a poor excuse for a human being this guy is......

5. Their web hosting is rotten. Extremely hard to use and their staff isn't committed to customers.
They're the worst to use. I've been shed of them for years now.

6. I should have done the same, but complacency won out...
I dealt with the poor customer service and other difficulties, but this I cannot abide.

11. When I need a website, I'll go with a "green" host,
such as AISO.net :)

I read about them years ago on TreeHugger.com. Of course, now there are many green-hosting services out there to choose from. I guess you'll just have to shop around.

7. I'm so glad I'm a procrastinator...

Because I should've renewed my domain weeks ago. Now I never will. That's a 3 year renewal plus an upgrade. I'm just sick. Elephants are magnificent creatures and this reminds me of Cheney shooting hundreds of birds or people hunting animals that are penned up. UGH.

8. It takes a soul-less shell
to murder a sentient being. I wonder how many "soul-less shells" occupy the big seats in boardrooms across this country; shipping jobs overseas, proping up teabagger union-busting candidates?

Empty bastards, they can only fill the hole inside by faux, fleeting, pretend power.

9. OMG, unfortunately I just saw this story on CNN.
I am SICKENED beyond words. Soul-less and empty shells is a correct description of these kinds of people, and I hesitate to even include this man in the "people, human" category. It is completely UNBELIEVABLE what I just witnessed. My god, what else can be done to hurt these people in the only place they have any FEELING, their WALLETS???

10. Ok, so I was so disgusted, I went to godaddy and set up
a profile so I could post in their forum. There was one thread in the "community" area about Bob Parson's killing of that poor animal. But with only 7 comments from people saying they were done with godaddy. I thought that was an awfully low number. Well now I know why it was SO low. The post I typed went off into nowhere land...and did not show up on the forum. I bet they have received thousands of complaints/comments and now they are censoring them. That makes me even MORE mad! I said that I was going to post this on my facebook, twitter accounts and that I was emailing to everyone I knew and asking them to do the same. I wish the video would go viral. This kind of stuff cannot be okay! What is wrong with people?!?!?? This company is beyond disgusting. I wish there was more I could do.
