Well, it was really nice knowing all of you. (This is my farewell in advance, as FR will be outlawed)
hehe, all the left wing nuts said “oh my god, dailykos will be outlawed if net neutrality doesn’t pass!!”, and all the people here say “oh my god, our forums will be outlawed if net neutrality passes”
“net neutrality” generally just says ISPs can’t due deep packet inspection for QoS or traffic-shaping purposes
You were saying — Well, it was really nice knowing all of you. (This is my farewell in advance, as FR will be outlawed)

Actually, the principle of Net Neutrality would keep Free Republic from being outlawed. It would be something like the Fairness Doctrine that could interfere with Free Republic.
Net Neutrality, on the other hand, makes sure that all different kinds of accesses and modes of using the “net” would be transparent and not blocked or charged more money, just because it was either a web site that did not pay for better service access and/or it was passing certain kinds of packets that the ISP did not want to pass through (and they either block or slow them down), if the service or website doesn’t pay an extra charge for it (to the ISP).
Maybe they’ll impose the “Fairness Doctrine” on us making it mandatory the half our posts have to come from moveon.org — just to make it fair.
