The point was your lecture on fire fighting services was irrelevant to the context.
> I am suggesting they are comparable to a private for-profit firefighting company. Can you respond to this? If KF farms hires a private for-profit firefighting company, and then political activists commit arson against KF, should the private for-profit firefighting company put out the fire?
I did respond. I said the analogy had negative value. Continuing to mutate the analogy is just more evidence of it.

Can you explain why the comparison between a private fire department that frustrates vigilante arsonists and a private DDoS protection service that frustrates vigilante DDoSers is an analogy with "negative value"?
If KF farms hires a private for-profit firefighting company, and then political activists commit arson against KF, should the private for-profit firefighting company put out the fire? Or does your political ideology oblige firefighters to side with arsonists?
