Re: Skype can pony up money and build their own network said by Skippy25:Personal wants has nothing to do with it, simple common sense does. There is nothing more common on the Internet than people asserting that their own personal wants are exactly what "common sense" is. If the "sense" was indeed "common" then there wouldn't be any significant disagreement. Just calling your personal wants "common sense" doesn't make it so.
said by Skippy25:The shear stupidity of your comment was clearly illustrated by my examples. A self-fulfilling personal attack; how original.
said by Skippy25:OK, take the mask off... your the AT&T CEO arent you? And there you go flipping out yet-another of the rhetorical tactics people attempt to use when they really cannot defend their self-serving assertions: Accuse the person disagreeing with them of working for the company that they're whining about. Just this week I've been accused of working for Time Warner Cable, Verizon, Comcast, Disney, NBC Universal, and now AT&T. I don't work for any of them. Rather, the fact of the matter is that your comments are motivated exclusively by your personal self-interest while my comments are motivated by the need to discuss what is actually the reality. |
 | I did not accuse you of working for them, I did accuse you of pushing the same thought as "Big Ed" that made the stupid and false claim that Google was getting a free ride on AT&T's pipes and making the implication that they either need to pay them a toll to reach their customers or build their own network to reach them. Which is EXACTLY what you claimed. |
