Yeah me too. Really pointless too. I simply don't care about e-cred.
I'll give you this.
I can tell just by patterns that probably 70% of this board is the same as it was fricking 3 years ago(in terms of regulars).
But I'll be fricked if 70% of them don't have different handles!
That's just dumb. I like being able to see a handle and think, "I remember this dude". No sense rediscovering the SAME shite about people.

I know you will receive this in the spirit in which it is intended, but you're a dick, DB.

You give this place far too much credit. These Trumpkin alters have got you all paranoid.
I already have enough fun having every conversation devolve into transparent Freudian Projections by triggered Trumpflakes, no need to double that shite with two accounts.

So, you're actually 2/3 of the Team America "trinity".

They both discuss the same topics, with the same points, and the same responses to anything that refutes those points.
They both use the techinique that goes something like this.
Spam you with HUGE posts
Demand answers to every element
Respond to only one element(especially if it's the one you left out)
Slightly change the discussion at every opportunity by shifting a key element

Not once was that implied, if you are going to have to argue straw men to keep up the charade, you have already lost the plot.
It is telling in all these responses you have yet to offer a single coherent retort to any underlying point without resorting to mischaracterization. And instead posted more about me being some person's alter because apparently other people that post detailed responses similarly trigger you.

Building code. If the building codes start requiring internet access, then I'll consider it. Until then, it's telecommunications, which is deregulated and not required for a building to be habitable, and everyone viscerally knows this, even though ideology might prevent them from saying it.
I'm detaching this from the NN versus non-NN - I'm against it, because I'm pro-freedom and pro-competition. I don't pretend deregulation is utopia, but at the same time, I don't need a nanny state to protect me from a non-essential good or service. Same position I had on health insurance.
Is health insurance a utility? The left will say yes and the right will say no. Are "groceries" a utility? The left will say yes, the right will say no. And so on, and so on...

no...you just said economists say it has to be really really close to it. Why bring up perfectly competitive markets at all? Something you found in your spring textbooks? This post was edited on 12/15/17 at 1:22 pm

You wanted to slip in "perfectly competitive" and get me to respond as if I didn't notice.
Then, when I noticed, you had to flail.

I respond to people who post in the thread. Sorry buttercup.

He thought he was being slick.
He wanted me to cite competition so he could go, "what the frick, do you not know what the economic term perfectly competitive means!!!"
Alas. Whoops. Rob knew!!

Framework for discussion. In an ideal market, to reach perfect competition you want the underlying market to function as close to that as possible. In reality it rarely does, but the further you move out from satisfying those principles, the more prone to market failure and critical breakdowns it becomes.
I would love you to explain to me how the absence of those underlying traits can lead to a highly functioning and competitive marketplace?
And in addition, why that is not what we see in the ISP space?

Slip in? Quit being a child. If you can't comprehend what was written, be a big boy and ask. But this attempt to mischaracterize what was written as a ploy to cover up your inability to address what was actually said is pathetic.

I actually haven't. That gif definitely didn't clear anything up.

It was literally my first point when I responded to your game.
Yeah. I didn't comprehend it.
