Re: cablemodem time Mactron, as we say in Usenet, don't feed the trolls. fiberguy is either rich, or is pretending to be, and is going out of his way to put down the rest of us. My intuition says he doesn't even believe the crap he's spewing, he just loves to get a good flame war going (sort of the equivalent of the guy who starts a bar fight by throwing the first punch, then ducking and running). 
Other possibilities are that he really is rich and obnoxious (in which case his karma will catch up with him sooner or later) or he is a shill for the phone companies, perhaps working for one of their public relations firms or astroturf groups. In any case, he's definitely in the minority on this board, which probably explains why he feels the need to put his views across in such an aggravating manner.
There are guys in the world who feel the need to flaunt their wealth, and then there are a lot more guys who just like to give the appearance of being wealthy when they are really in hock up to their eyeballs. Neither is a path to making them likable individuals. |
