  on Kurt Eichenwald Sues Twitter Troll Over Alleged 'Epileptic' Image Assault
  .....the point where a tweet might influence an unstable person to act on mis-information. like in the comet ping pong pizza case. an argument can be made that an existing mental condition would cause someone to be influenced by twitter. then the tweeter could be liable. not quite the same but the connection could be made and might prove to be a liability in the future...not saying it is...but the crossroad is coming up the road where it could be proven with the right case.

  nailed it. vertical integration and consolidation among media outlets leads to the vast majority of the U.S. is in the dark on this...by design, obviously.

  on Why Does It Still Take Press Attention For Comcast To Fix Obvious Screw Ups?
  .....I believe we are headed to a point where even press attention doesn't rectify these situations. previous exposure of poor behavior obviously has not changed comcasts attitude toward stealing money from people...the press awareness is getting diminishing returns at this point and will eventually be ineffectual....just another day at the duopoly plant....

  ....then I know we won't react to this situation until it becomes time to overreact! it's like clockwork...it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt..then it's time to pass reactionary legislation that actually does nothing but makes everyone feel better....pretty sure it goes something like that.

  I agree with you that there will always be a faction of society that gets off on not acting in ways that society would like them to and they will always exist. that puts the onus on the vast majority of the rest of us to extend that olive branch, much like the globe and mail are coming around to doing. acknowledge the trolls, manage them if you can, but don't let them stop the majority of us from acting civil and engaging in debate and discussions around any story or topic.

  Re: Vox partially owned by Comcast

  on Vox Joins Growing Chorus Of Outlets Weirdly Crapping On Cord Cutting

  this is the only insightful comment on this whole story. why does every cord-cutting article on this sight turn into a complete dismissal of the point of the article and turn into a "this is what I do....." comment-a-thon...???? obviously this story is about major websites being bribed by Comcast to rebuff the cord-cutting phenomena...not how do YOU cord cut?....every article....every time....pavlovian sheep...
