Good question, as it created a pausing moment to reflect on myself as to why I said that.

I think the biggest part of me is because I don't wish to condemn people. I see that far too much on the internet and I don't want to imply the message within this little article to make Flom out to be a bad person. I wish to understand people why they do things, even though I don't agree with them. I condemn the act, to a degree, in that it does have this subconscious desire to censor, but at the same time, I cannot also help but think that Flom is taking advantage of a business opportunity, knowing that there is a crowd out there that would be interested in what she has to offer. However, if business ventures were to come to a point to where they play a fundamental role in censorship, then that's where my positive acknowledgment of Flom's opportunism would fall flat. It has a hint of the Orwellian, in a way, but it's not outright Orwellian either.
