Because it's not squatting.

As the owner of a few interesting domain names, why does everyone think that unless the landing webpage is a fucking advertisement that I have no legitimate claim to a domain?

It's exactly backwards. Say I want a domain to use for my primary email address, but it's currently owned by a business with thousands of domains, and is one of a dozen domains dedicated to a tertiary brand nobody has ever given a single fuck about. I should be able to file AND WIN a UDRP claim that just says 'they're not doing anything valuable with this, but I have a clever pun I want to make into an email address.'

And the absolute balls of people to get mad at me when I politely decline their insultingly low offers. I totally understand why the milk.com owner wrote this page.
