Care to elaborate how they were "trolling" Verizon?

  They came off that way in this blog post: https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-verizon-and-a-bgp-optimizer-knocked-large-parts-of-the-internet-offline-today/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-verizon-and-a-bgp-optimizer-...

    That didn't seem like trolling – just a public call for Verizon to follow internet best practices. Given that most large ISPs treat failures as a PR exercise, that's probably necessary.

      Agreed. They reached out to Verizon privately, a Tier 1 carrier with expectations and responsibilities as a good netizen, and got no response. They attempted to reach out through Verizon's public forms of communication and got a bullshit irrelevant CS response despite requesting escalation. They then called out Verizon before the community as a whole. They don't have the luxury of waiting for a well prepared letter from some Verizon lawyers. Modern day customer expectations don't allow for it. You may call it trolling, but all I saw was a company asking another company to stop pissing in the public pool.
