Sartorially-championed white nationalist Richard Spencer just got punched in the face–this time, in the figurative sense.

The web provider GoDaddy has taken down the alt-right figurehead’s web domain, the appropriately named altright.com.

“It is our determination that altright.com crossed the line and encouraged and promoted violence in a direct and threatening manner,” a GoDaddy spokesperson told BuzzFeed.

    As any rational person knows, *incitement to violence* is a bullshit concept. It implies that people can be compelled to act by mere words. If we have no free will, then we are just bald apes.

    You can sometimes incite people to do things.

    I'm trying to incite you to reply and disagree with me. Maybe that is the word provoke instead of incite?

      :-) Your incitement and even provocation are irrelevant. I have to choose to respond. All my reactions are either by choice or conditioning. People who claim to be incited to violence are actually conditioned (or have a personal predilection) to violence. Everything you do is by personal choice or conditioning. Don't try to pass blame to the other guy for the choices you make.
