Re: Life has delicious ironies...
said by funchords  :Yeah, because a war on ISPs makes so much sense. Don't you think that, if I were in a war on ISPs (or Comcast in particular), that I would have kept my mouth shut about Colorado.edu's errant findings?
They don't say what role you played, Robb. Did you actually debunk what they were doing? Or did you egg them on?
said by funchords :I'm not playing this very politically wise -- because I'm not a politician. That's why this was a "delicious irony." Politicians would never have let that happen. It is so not because they're dishonest, but because they're on a mission to get or prevent a certain policy. You, Brett, clearly are a politician. I'm okay with that. A lot of your life has been involved in local, state, and even some national issues. Nonsense. I despise politics and only engage in them as a matter of self defense. You, on the other hand, seem to be trying to stretch the 15 minutes of fame you achieved for pointing out what many already knew: that Comcast was using Sandvine appliances, which inject RST packets to manage traffic. And you're doing that not only by getting political but by participating in Lauren Weinstein's "Network Vigilante Squad." You and others continue to spread FUD and advocate policies that would destroy small and independent ISPs -- the only alternative to the cable companies and telcos. You deserve to be discredited, because you deserved no credit for your malicious activities in the first place. |
