As some of the commenters on lifehacker point out, taking some kind of moral stance on GoDaddy over the elephants is going to leave you short on time and products in your life. Are you now going to research everything you buy and make sure you are on board with the CEO's personal agenda?

I agree GD hosting is horrible but and shouldn't be used for anything but buying domains. With the flotilla of discount codes available you can almost always get your renewals/new domains very cheap at GD.

Are you proposing that one should not take any moral stances? I don't think it's fair to propose complete amorality simply because we overlook so many disagreeable things. We all choose our battles.

Domain name at name.com: $9.99

Domain at godaddy with tons of coupons: $9.99

To me it has nothing to do with elephants (i left long before that).

if you were in a position to stop a murder, what would you do? on the one hand, you could save a life. on the other, you would have to spend the rest of your life searching for similar situations so that you can prevent more.

errr...?
