Open Letter to Network Solutions and NameJet
Dear Network Solutions and NameJet,
Today a domain name from a former Network Solutions customer was auctioned off on the NameJet platform. The domain name is a very common racial slur, SandNigger.com. It is a domain solely of hate and refers to people of Middle Eastern and Arabic descent.
In an effort to promote tolerance and decency, I am petitioning your company to do something good with the proceeds of that sale. This is an opportunity to prove that its not all about the money, and that profiting from cruelty is not on your agenda.
The profit of this sale is approximately $840 minus of course the registration costs. If you would be willing to donate that to a reputable charity or scholarship, I myself will make a small contribution as well, as I am sure many others in this industry would.
Sincerely,
Justin Allen
Excellent, Justin! I hope the powers that be at Network Solutions consider your request.

That is a great letter and hopefully Namejet and/or NetworkSolutions will follow thru with your proposal. It would really demonstrate integrity and humanity…and help someone in need at the same time. Nice!

Nice letter Justin - Money is the Main reason for all the EVIL which is being done on this planet.
