You're ignoring my main point completely by instead picking one word out of my comment and using that to misrepresent me. I didn't "make it a race issue". I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that you employ such a puerile tactic, as it's exactly what you're doing with the original article - picking out an irrelevant detail and focusing on that and then acting like you've "won" some sort of argument, which in fact is only taking place in your head. My very simple point - which you've done nothing to address - is that the article was about the difficulties and stresses which can arise when digital services are arbitrarily blocked off from one region to the next, and that you're simply sidestepping that to make an irrelevant point. Neither the article, nor I in my comments, make any point about the human rights situation in the UAE. It simply is not germane. From my browsing of the comments here, it seems like no other reader of the article has gone off on a tangent in any way similar to yours - do you think there's any chance that your reading comprehension skills are at fault here, or is it just that no one is on your level?
