Re: Google and the South African Internet

Alrighty then.
This _has_ been fun.

I just need a few things cleared up in this thread (and I'm sure I'm not
the only one).

What was the original purpose of this "discussion"?
So far everyone has been able to give you suggestions to deal with this
issue
- Get over it
- Get lawyers involved
- Get a PR company involved
- Send an ISPA takedown notice (since MyBroadband are ISPA members)

I think that pretty much covers the whole spectrum of options available to
you.

But none of these seem satisfactory?

So the real question then is why did you really bring this up? What's your
end-game?
What do you want to hear from this community that will finally vindicate
you?

We get it, you have opinions. You have your unique way of seeing things and
coming to your own conclusions. You seem to like to share these with
people. Not only that, you prefer to enforce these opinions on them,
aggressively.
You call it rudeness or obnoxiousness, I have other words for people who
behave like this (which I will not be sharing publicly).
You claim you accept that sometimes you're wrong, but so far we've seen
none of that.

Guess what? everyone else on this list has their own opinions too. You're
no special little snowflake.

And lastly (I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this), how do we make
you stop?
