> Interesting, you presume to know what network they are using now Crazy thought, but perhaps I based it on their comment that simply said: > It's one of the multitude of reasons I left for T-Mobile. Which, in most educated circles, means they are still with T-Mobile. If they weren't I would have expected another note that they moved on to another carrier. But guess what, all the other carriers play the same game so I'm still on the right side here. > Good try at a gotcha though, really raising the discourse. Drop the snark, you know exactly what both comments were going after.

Likewise, you knew what he meant. They did something unpleasant and he left and your response was "they're all that bad" as if technically minded people aren't aware of that? What were you contributing exactly?

  > Likewise, you knew what he meant. Clearly not, and here's why: - I would have expected someone who knows that the major carriers all have something to gain from this Decembers vote not to list that as a reason. Listing that as a reason makes T-Mobile look "better" in the realm of NN, when that isn't true. - Raises awareness to other HN readers like yourself that T-Mobile has also taken advantage of their position of power. - Sure, there can be plenty of other factors of moving carriers as a consumer, but this shouldn't be counted among them. > and your response was "they're all that bad" as if technically minded people aren't aware of that? Bingo. Yet, here we are where I'm having to explain that this is the case. The comment added plenty to the discussion, you just wanted to attempt to slip some snark in. This is where I'll go ahead and stop engaging with you in comments, because this is an explained point and you have no interest in having a meaningful conversation around it.

As a bystander who really doesn't give a crap about NN either way, I'd like to say that your comments are the rudest I've read on HN all day. Heed the feedback of those who are replying to you. It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it.
