I found out from the blog and so this has already been the reason why they withdrew they services. I have also seen it mentioned in every other article I have read on the issue, it seems like Ars are the only ones who have not included it. I think they only way to verify the claim is to go to the daily stormer site to see what was said but the site is down.

I understand your point that being severely annoyed can lead to arbitrary decision, but nowhere it says in the interview, something like - I'd had enough because they even implied we supported them - here I would have understand. My problem is that it looks like either:
1. Ars removed this from the interview or
2. CloudFlare added this line in the PR blog post even so it was not the case
I cannot tell which one is true or both or none...
