That's not the way to argue a point (Score 1)

The implication of this article is a little smug and condescending. The guy may not have mastered the bucking bronco of grammar, but what he's saying isn't wrong. A fiber connection is indeed like a tube for which traffic has to queue for access, and not like a truck where you can add more or less cargo and it still gets there at the same time. I know that, and you know that, but my grandmother might find his explanation a lot clearer than how some /. readers would put it. If you were Alaskan, and he was talking about an arcane tax bill that affected you, you might even appreciate this kind of simplified language. I'm not saying you wouldn't laugh at him but you'd be grateful for the info.

Nothing in the article contributes to the actual debate on net neutrality. Some voters actually need the issues explained to them on a basic level-- if those people read this /. article they would feel like it was mocking them, and they'd pretty much be right. That's not how you get people on your side. Believe it or not, there are even smart people who don't know a stream from a datagram.
