Re: Cable denies?

said by Dogfather:

As previously mentioned before all the postings were deleted, they (Comcast) denied traffic shaping and packet forging too.

We all know that cable and telcos never lie.

Can't point to them, they were deleted. I don't know who deleted them and it could have been a mistake 'cause there was nothing crazy in any of the posts that would warrant deletion.

There was about 4 or 5 posts and all were removed at the same time. TK had a post, and I think it was Moonpuppy who had one. And I had one. I went to do another follow up and was met with the error "Board does not exist" or something to that effect. I refreshed the page and the posts were gone. So I reposted my point and that's how I got first post.

This happens on rare occasion. The last time I remember this happening was with one of Karl's good ole "FiOS installers tear up sh!t" articles which were frequent at the time (this was probably 2 years ago). But in the article it turned out that FiOS installers weren't really reponsible for the damage. If I remember right, the street was mismarked by the utility company who owned that underground infrastructure or something. In either event, FiOS being the religion here that it is, Karl was quickly called out on it and all the posts were deleted, followed shortly thereafter by the entire news item since it no longer fit the FiOS installers wreak havok agenda of the period.

Can you point me to where the postings were deleted? And who do you think did it (the deleting), DSLR or the Comcast shills?
Thanks,

Dave

Ah, bummer. I was hoping for a grander anti-cable conspiracy. Guess I'll have to settle for the check circulation headline conspiracy.

I wonder if I am a sock puppet because I don't really trust Google all that much, especially about medical records, or MS for that matter.

If you're paid off, yer a puppet. If you geniunely believe net neutrality is bad, then you aren't.

I am not paid off and I don't geniunely believe that net neturality is bad, I just don't trust Google, Yahoo, or any of the other folks that want to store info on me.

Then you simply don't trust them and your skepticism is warranted.

The puppets Karl refers to are these groups and astroturfers who are simply bribed into taking one position or another.

Thanks everyone. I thought there were posts in the middle of a thread that disappeared, not everything posted. Sounds like a site problem, for sure.

Karl Bode mentioned he did it by accident. He accidently republished the news item when he tried to add a link in the article. When that happened, it deleted the posts.
