Dreamhost: racist, neo-nazi sites are fine by us

Hello,

Thank you for writing. While we understand and empathize with your
concern, as an online service provider DreamHost does not censor or
otherwise assert editorial control over the content of sites that it
hosts. If you have concerns regarding the content of this site, I'm
afraid that you will need to contact the site operator directly.

While we personally abhor such ideologies, our policies are consistent
with the First Amendment of the US Constitution, protecting the ability
for people of all types to engage in free speech.

I'm sorry we couldn't be of more immediate assistance.
