 or more of the many ISP or the European community that run DNS who blocks
 this URL.

 It is the server blocking connections from Tor exits. You can add these
 domains to [[org/doc/ListOfServicesBlockingTor]].

 It may not be a deliberate decision by the webmasters; rather a decision
 by their cPanel hosting provider. Through reverse DNS we see that
 atheology.ca is hosted on a panelboxmanager.com domain. And
 http://panelboxmanager.com/ also blocks Tor access.
 {{{
 $ dig +short atheology.ca
 184.107.100.87
 $ dig +short -x 184.107.100.87
 s117.panelboxmanager.com.
 }}}
 You might contact the server admins and ask them if they are aware they
 are blocking Tor users, and if they can do anything to change it.
