Would you like to try that again, Block? A lot of the reason that people get foaming-at-the-mouth about the net neutrality issue is that the pro-neutrality side tried calm, reasoned debate, and they received Ted Cruz in response.

I don't need to try it again. Ted Cruz is irrelevant to the decision making process. The FCC received a lot of public comments, but they were shitty copy and paste one liners for the most part.

LOL WHAT? People in that reddit thread were very civil when calling her on her BS. The flaming only started after it became clear this was nothing but regurgitated PR.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

I have to say that there will be at best a day. No question Comcast has a "chose your own lawsuit" ready to go ready to sue on every single possible point and the only thing that will change will be the linking language between points and how many points their are.

In other words if I were Comcast I'd have every single possible FCC regulation with an argument and a lawsuit ready to go. Regulations get purposed well then copy pasted 1-10, Number 15, 26 and 48 into the press release and dump it out into the wild.
And 2 years later SCOTUS sides with Cumcast by doing what they've been doing since at least, and likely long before Bush v Gore,: making shit up.
