We are being DDOSed again, and cloudflare is catching most of it so the site is still usable. We are tweaking the settings of our DDOS protection to make it load faster

I think you misunderstood. He's testing the sites ability to handle ddos attacks. When he finds an issue, he reports it. He then suggests that if we're going to host controversial content, then the site should be better prepared against ddos attacks. If he was really trying to ddos, he would have fucked up the site a hell of a lot more than what he actually did.
