Being so afraid of a slippery slope that you're too permanently paralyzed to take steps on a nice flat plateau has its own risks. CloudFlare seems to be doing just fine, and a private organization declining to do business with a neo-Nazi forum doesn't cause much worry for me.
ICANN's responsibilities are very different than CloudFlare's, and the proposed action has much wider scope and impact on innocents in the dispute. They're not at all comparable scenarios, and I believe CloudFlare and ICANN both made the right decisions in the respective cases.
