Re: Hey Rich
So... You're the login police? What business is it of yours and why should you care how I deal with some jerk who is trolling me? As far as I can tell that guy has trolled you numerous times too so again I ask why should you care why or when I post here? Unless you are looking to pick a fight too? As far as your comment: I changed my mind. Unless you think I'm not allowed to ...
Re: It really doesn't.
In the sense that there isn't net neutrality BECAUSE there are internet fast lanes, then yes that is true. There is not net neutrality in that sense. When I was speaking of neutrality, I was speaking in the sense that you and everyone else was using. There is neutrality of oppotunity. There is neutrality of fairness. Any company has the ability and the right to sign up to use a "fastlane" to provide content to their users. Just like ...
Re: Wi Fi Calling
I had nothing but bad experiences with WiFi calling when I had Tmobile. I used to have awesome network coverage with Tmobile but when I moved 3 miles down the road in a well networked suburb, my coverage sucked. I tried WiFi calling for a few months but I dropped calls all the time and had trouble even getting incoming calls. I switched to Verizon and have yet to have any signal issues no matter where I travel and ...
Re: I don't care what anyone says...
:lol: I was about to say that I can't wait for the news reports of multiple dead teenagers in auto accidents because of this thing. Geez.
Re: Hey Rich
Yes. How sad that you deem it necessary to troll everyone who dares disagree with you on this site.
Thanks for proving my point again.
Well, look. He is parroting me yet again. Too bad you couldn't do that two weeks ago when we were having a debate about the issue at hand.
I'm so glad you learned to post links. Unfortunately, out of the 11 links you posted, I mentioned you and twitter once? The rest is only an attempt to have them noticed by a moderator and have them deleted.
Let's get to the "points" of your claims here so you can get ...
Re: @planethulk
No. That was you. You got exposed and only came back a week later when you cried to the moderators to remove several of my posts that proved you lied. And really the only reason I reply to you is because I feel sorry for you. You obviously have no one in your life that cares about you so you have latched onto me like a barnacle on a great white shark. I have no real interest in debating ...
Re: @planethulk
I have already debated you. Already defeated your lame arguments. And now you do nothing but troll me. You trolling me is all the satisfaction I need. Lol. Keep obsessing on me.
Re: Thank you, this article makes my point
No one cares what things seem to you. No one.
Re: Two Experts Say 'Everyone is getting it wrong'.
Seriously, your one trick pony routine where you behave a certain way then claim everyone else is doing that is ridiculous and boring at this point.
Re: AND
Oh well, be sure and report that to someone.
Re: @planethulk
I have no real incentive to convince someone who is being combative and dismissive of my ideas of anything to the contrary.
I would provide links to each and every example of how this is actually you describing yourself, but you will just report it as an insult and have your lil buddy delete it.
I don't have any desire to debate you any longer for previously described reasons. You don't have any positions that haven't already been defeated ...
Re: Thank you, this article makes my point
Let me know when you are done with that strawman.
Re: Since Phonescoop took down my previous response
This will be my last post to you so don't bother replying. My choice to discontinue this charade of a debate has already been stated. You choose to insult, insinuate and inflame then cry to moderators when someone calls you out. Since you choose to blatantly lie about me and misrepresent what I say, I will set the record "starraaaight" for you one last time.
"you are certainly wrong about what net neutrality is"
No. As the article pointed out, ...
Hey Rich
Don't bother responding to my numerous moderation requests. There isn't any need. I won't be visiting your site any longer. You have obviously befriended trolls who propagate nonsense and bs and you help them by deleting dissenting opinion. You have an obvious bias to people who share your opinions and you nitpick opposition to death. Congratulations. You win the internet. Did you get your trophy?
You can claim ignorance of my claims but google analytics don't lie... You website ...
Re: Thank you, this article makes my point
The day you learn rational discourse is the day you become a real libertarian.
I like how you left the many points in that article that proved you were full of crap.
Re: @planethulk
There is really no need for me to respond to you since you will undoubtedly report anything I say as an insult and get my response deleted by your twitter buddy.
I have reported several instances of your insults and inflammatory behavior to no avail. Rich Brome seems to think it is okay for you to behave this way and/or he has some personal grudge against me. I dont really care to debate the issue with you as it ...
Re: Not trolling
Sure you don't
Re: Moderation- nonsense
You didnt disagree when I was called a troll. And I called no one childish. I referred to their argument as childish. Like you said though, it's your 'discretion' but your ddiscretion is a little one sided.
I was referred to as a troll several times, called uneducated several times, called a 'punk kid' once or twice... How far does your 'discretion' stretch, Rich? I also reported them to you but instead of deleting the offending posts, you chose to ...
Re: Not trolling
No. You only care if people are civilized to your twitter buddies. You dont care if your friends are civilized to other people.
Re: Moderation- nonsense
I find that hard to believe since a) you have ignored my moderation requests and b) the guy I was arguing with is one of your twitter friends as well.
As I pointed out, you are applying your rules rather loosely where I am concerned and completely ignore your own rules altogether when others flagrantly break them.
Again, calling someone a troll for trolling behavior is not name calling...you deleted my post for that excuse but left several instances ...
Re: Mr Brome at it again...
Now, you have sent an email to me claiming that saying that someone's argument was "childish" and "what a joke" is a personal attack.
I'm not exactly sure how loosely you are going to apply this apparently very elastic term of yours.
I did not refer to anyone as "childish". I referred to his argument as such. Referred to his point as "what a joke". This is common place on this website by other users and is by no ...
Hey Rich Brome. Quit Trolling me.
Seriously. It's annoying. If your intention is to troll all my posts and nitpick each and every one, go ahead and just ban me. I won't be bullied by you. I couldn't care less why you decided to become obsessed with me, but seriously, knock it off.
Really? What's the point? You trying to prove you can bully me? You can't. You can ban me. You can nitpick. You can delete all my posts that you disagree with. You ...
Mr Brome
Why exactly is it that you seem to pick and choose who is allowed to insult who on your website? I received two emails stating my comments were deleted because they amounted to "personal attacks".
1st, I dispute the term personal attack. Referring to someone who is lying or defrauding people as a liar or a fraud is not a personal attack any more than saying the sun is yellow is a personal attack.
Referring to someone who is trolling and ...
Re: This is where pre-pay has its advantages
Nope. I prepay with Verizon. It is cheaper than the month to month plan. I still get charged those lame taxes on top of it...
Re: "Impact on the consumer will be small.."
New Yorkers and Florida pay about 50% when you count sales and income taxes.
Im sure most socialists who run the government think that isnt enough.
Re: Two Experts Say 'Everyone is getting it wrong'.
Calling BS.
1ST I didn't "barge in" on anything. If you don't want oppositional discourse the only sure fire way for that to happen is to not post anything. Sorry if your arrogance leads you to believe that anyone who disagrees is 'barging in'. You were not on the crapper in your house. You are posting on a forum.
2nd This is now and always has been a political debate. Just because you don't like politics doesn't change the political ...
Re: Two Experts Say 'Everyone is getting it wrong'.
“The net neutrality debate has got many facets to it, and most of the points of the debate are artificial, distracting, and based on an incorrect mental model on how the internet works,” says Dave Taht, a developer of open-source networking software.
Sound like anyone we now? Lol
Two Experts Say 'Everyone is getting it wrong'.
Th guy who coined the term 'Net Neutrality' and a guy whose job it is to track how the internet's infrastructure work say that the Net Neutrality argument is wrong.

This is a counterpoint argument from actual experts in their fields that contradict what some people keep claiming on this forum. Enjoy the read.

Re: If you're really opposed
I'm guessing I'm not the only one who noticed that this dude NEVER uses facts or cites sources to back his claims. He just likes to insult people then claim somehow what he is saying was written on a stone tablet by god for all the world to see.
Re: Ok, so I lied
You trolled me specifically, here:
https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/ discuss.php?fm=m&ff=14892&fi=3284751
You trolled me specifically, even by name here:
https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/ discuss.php?fm=m&ff=14892&fi=3284758
You trolled T-Bone here (and he wasn't even part of the conversation AND since he offered no opinion on the subject YOU created a strawman to attack instead) :
https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/disc uss.php?fm=m&ff=14892&fi=3284662
You trolled this guy and even insulted him and of course in your hypocrisy, you offered no rebuttal only insult and some misguided idea that you are the foremost expert on anything:

Re: @planethulk
"The internet has been rife for over a decade with case after case after case of people who want to leave their ISP and have no viable alternatives."
Please cite examples. I'll wait here.
"ISP's are already doing that. Is it only wrong if the government does it?"
Please cite examples.
When I say cite examples, an appropriate response would be a link to an article that at least agrees with you. I'm sure all we will get is "Everyone knows it's the ...
Re: Ok, so I lied
2am, eh? Awesome friday night activity there, slick. What happened? Did your date find out you were a fraud too or was your mom on a date so you were allowed to use her,computer?
Re: @planethulk
Says the guy who claims to be a 'libertarian' but doesnt know who Rothbard, Rockwell, Mises or anything about Austrian Economics. And even more strawman attacks. Ron Paul fan? No you are a bandwaggoner. You dont even know Ron Paul endorsed Ted Cruz. Lol.
You are nothing more than a democrat who pretends to like Ron Paul. Take a hike.
Re: @planethulk
Who would you go to? There are literally 100's of carriers and ISPs.
Not only would NEW Startups form but existing competition would use the unpopular policies to their advantage and sell it.
Want to TRULY destroy competition? Want reall monopoly? Make them 'Utilities' just as Obama is proposing. How many electric companies are available to you? Water companies? Gas companies? In 99% of America there is only one available for the area. So yeah let's do that. Ugh.
Much of your ...
Re: Ok, so I lied
Actually, you have been lying since you started interacting with me. So no surprise there. You have no expertise on any subject you keep bringing up be it economics or technology.
You are also the one using ad hominem and straw man attacks. Maybe you dont know what strawman is but when I dispute something you actually say, that isnt a strawman.
Your little shtick may impress your drinking buddies, but your lack of knowledge is apparent to anyone who doesn't ...
Re: @planethulk
Again I will point you to an article wriiten by a Free Market Capitalist Economist and published on a Capitalist Economics website.
http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/01/ robert-wenzel/net-neutrality/
Feel free to read it. I doubt you will. Im sure you will also claim he isnt an economist or a capitalist.
Re: Go ahead T-bone
Not only have I worked in the tech sector for many years, I am also an economics major. The fact that you havent even heard of Mises or Rothbard or Rockwell is proving that you don't have a clue about economics or capitalism. Have you even read anything by Milton Freidman?
>>>advocating for a system where these companies are allowed to continue behaving in the manner that they do.
Exactly my point. Are these companies breaking any laws? Nope. Who ...
Re: @planethulk
Seriously...
You have blundered through the definition of capitalism, anarchy and net neutrality. Really, you are batting a big goose egg here.
