We have no interest in selling to anybody, don't worry! We're stubborn. :)
As for Tor: We don't automatically block Tor exit nodes. We do use Cloudflare for DDoS protection. (We don't get DDoSed *regularly*, but we do get it occasionally and when we do, Cloudflare is what keeps us up.) Cloudflare also doesn't automatically block all Tor exit nodes, but they do block some exit nodes that have particularly bad histories, and sometimes we have to use Cloudflare's tools to block more of them when someone flooding or DDoSing us is using Tor.
In other words: we are pro-Tor in theory, since it's such a useful privacy tool! In practice, we sometimes need to restrict accessing the site via Tor, because much of the malicious traffic we get comes through Tor: not all Tor traffic is malicious, of course, but 99% of our malicious traffic comes via Tor and sometimes we have to implement restrictions in order to stop it.
