This is the last time I'm addressing this issue. It's just that seeing stuff like this on this forum really annoys me. I'm being misunderstood, I think.

As far as I've noticed, I'm more or less just like most of you. And everything on the forum was great, UNTIL I gave my opinion (which isn't unreasonable at all, BTW) on a controversial issue on the aforementioned Trump thread. I'm really just the same person. People took me out of context. and, and I'm a little sick of it. No one here was mean to me until the Trump thread happened. My opinions are exactly the same as most other people except for the one. Could anyone actually tell me what's wrong with me, exactly? I just really like this forum and the people on it, and reading stuff about how I'm supposedly this very evil person makes me feel a little bummed out. It IS an internet forum, so I usually don't give a shit, but I genuinely like you people and think you're pretty reasonable. That's pretty much it for now.
Jeez, someone get this guy a safe space!

If you're really serious and you're being genuine, then you need to learn to roll with the punches. Also, be prepared for the idea that some of your opinions will be deemed shitty and abhorrent. And if you flat-out reject the idea that you should consider another viewpoint, you won't enjoy your stay here very much.

Don't be an asshole and people will eventually warm up to you.
Best advice I can think of, for anything really.

I would take a $500 bet with anyone that no ISP will charge people an extra fee for accessing a website like facebook or netflix as a result of this rollback.

Seriously, I wish they were running that on the prediction markets. I'd make a killing.

I don't know if "a website like Facebook or Netflix" is specific enough for the prediction markets when considering that they have almost nothing in common.

I know who Trots is from reading the archives, too, but have no idea about these Dade and c_wilson characters you guys are always on about. Who are they, anyway?

They sound like alright cats.

Yea, there's a reason I don't run a prediction market. What they have in common, or at least what I was getting at, is that Netflix and Facebook were all over the pro-NN propaganda as sites that for some reason, against all self-interest, the ISPs are looking forward to attaching extra fees to as soon as NN goes away.

Hooray for paying for Facebook, one way or another.

Would it necessarily be against self-interest if, for example, your ISP was owned by a company with financial ties to a Netflix competitor such as Amazon?

I always thought internet should be packaged like cable TV.

In other news, three of the top 12 most hated companies in America are cable companies, all of whom are also ISPs.

There's no money left in cable TV.

Charging people more for internet they already have is the only way these fucking telecommunication monstrosities will ever make more money.

Now they can profit from something that's been bleeding them dry for years.

The only people for which Net Neutrality is bad are telecommunication company executives and their shareholders.

Fuck you, Comcast.

It felt so good when this guy said he was going back to bed, but I guess it was just another lie.

you know some posters well enough to use their nicknames and others you are completely ignorant about despite them being roughly equally as prevalent

tell me what you learned about me from the archives, if you would
