I don't understand why you're getting downvoted. This is a valid question and shouldn't be downvoted so others can learn from the discussion.

- specializeded 10y agoYou don't understand why a talking point that's been attacked and discredited every single time it's been brought up, every single time net neutrality is rearing its head is downvoted? Why don't you just honestly say: "stop downvoting" instead of feigning this absurd obtuseness. There were 7 top level replies to the comment before you came along, hardly lacking discussion even with the downvotes.
- jameslk 10y ago> a talking point It's a question. There isn't any statements or manipulation in it. > Why don't you just honestly say: "stop downvoting" I effectively did. I said it "shouldn't be downvoted" > There were 7 top level replies to the comment before you came along, hardly lacking discussion even with the downvotes. That's my point. Hopefully others get to read those comments if this question isn't already pinned to the bottom. For the record, I'm not against net neutrality.
- specializeded 10y agoA free market solution to net neutrality is a talking point, regardless of how a specific comment is formatted. You missed this part: "without feigning this absurd obtuseness". And for the record I'm addressing the dopey false concern, not your stance on net neutrality. Have an honest day.
- jameslk 10y agoIt's unfortunate you don't seem to appreciate the difference between rhetoric and a question. I skipped your baseless accusation of "feigning this absurd obtuseness" since it was flamebait and wasn't worth addressing. Being insulting isn't really appreciated in this community.

- 1ba9115454 10y agoI guess its a passionate topic.
- sdca 10y agoIt's because those who seek to create an echo chamber in a discussion thread about so-called neutrality have no sense of irony of what they're doing.
