If you are going to debate the subject, start trying to do it respectfully and respect each others views. Try not to trample on what people say, no matter how misinformed you may believe them to be. I got tired of this pissing contest long ago when I realized that too many people want to throw punches behind anonymity. In the end, not everyone is going to agree.
Make your point and be done, don't beat a dead horse, and any other metaphor I didn't think of.
Remember that this forum was made to be a community of people trying to further the advancement of Android and to help each other. I don't think the intention was to argue a point to death just to resurrect it and do it again.

Very well put. Just seems that when someone expresses there opinion about the subject they get flamed by those whos opinion falls in favor of Verizon, and no matter what you try to do the attacks keep coming.
I to was guilty of this. I go smarter about it and try not to play that game as well.

I don't get it. Why do you feel you are getting flamed? Because I don't agree with you? Or because I'm saying you're wrong?
So when people say lame things like "I hope you enjoy your raise from Verizon" or say foolish sarcastic statements like "Oh I'm so self righteous and I am going to report you if you tether" that's not an attack on me?
The difference is I'm not going to sit here and cry about getting attacked, because I understand that its a discussion and people are voicing their opinion. No one is attacking me, and if you guys were trying to you've done a horrible job because it hasn't made me resort to "waah i'm being attacked!!"
Like I said, you guys can deny it all you want, but the over the top defense of what you're doing and the silly analogies only furthers the point that you guys
know what you're doing is wrong. The loudest people are usually the ones who are guilty of something or have something to hide. Reminds me of the woman who asked King Solomon to cut the baby in half so both mothers can have a piece.
Admit you're wrong and move on. Stop with the silly justifications that are dead on arrival because of the simple fact that you agreed to abide by the TOS. It doesn't matter if it's fair, or if it's ethical. I think charging $20 for 2GB is highway robbery and the most idiotic policy on the planet. However, I agreed to pay $20 if I want to tether. You guys are getting passionate about your personal beliefs, and fail to realize that your personal beliefs are about as irrelevant as it gets when it comes to a signed contract. It's doubly silly that you guys are paying your bills every month like little disciples, are the first ones in line for the new awesome phones that come out and then whine about the service that you weren't forced into and labeling verizon as a tyrannical company that is taking away your "comprehension of life" (LOL wut?)
I can argue that I think the government is wrong for outlawing murder, and commit murders left and right, that doesn't somehow make it right. You're wrong. Plain and simple. Whether you want to accept that or not is irrelevant. Stop hiding behind "I'm being attacked!!!" every time someone presents a logical counter to your silly justifications.
