Is that due to Tor? I cannot say. But I can say it's dumb. Thank you grarpamp, this is *exaclty* the type of case we need -- where a CloudFlare customer that should probably be Tor friendly was impacted, and best of all, lost money as a result. I could not ask for a better case. Except, I will ask for more of them :). Was anyone else blocked from any other sites that should probably care about Tor users not being able to reach them reliably? I am writing all of these down.
