Isle of Quack or Isle of Chicken?

Web space provider Netcetera has dumped an extremally informative and entertaining if at times quite abrasive blog known as The Quackometer that was devoted to exposing fraudulent medical practices. It did so at the request of doctor James Chikelue Obi whose bombastic claims and very doubtful medical expertise (he was actually disbarred in the UK) were ridiculed there. Although Mr Obi has completely zero chance of winning if he took this to court, one rather laughable letter from his legal representative was enough for Netcetera to dump its customer, claiming misuse of services.

I hereby declare that the Isle of Man should be known henceforth as the Isle of Chicken. Or perhaps Isle of Quack.
All right, it might be a bit unfair to change a name of entire island just because of the actions of one company that is based there. So maybe just for one day?
I find outrageous the attitude of Netcetera (NOT to be confused with Netcetra based in New Jersey, US). And I hope that it will be punished by its customers. The bloggers around the world seem to care:

Sue Netcetera for illegitimate suspension of service.
They may be adverse to being taken to court, but if both parties sue, they can't just avoid problems by running away.
