It’s Always Someone Else
July 24th, 2008 by EyeOnWinerDave, in a typical display of childishness, rants about how terrible Comcast is.
There are just so many things wrong with his essay, but here’s the most obvious: this is not the first time Dave has had his service turned off. He came back. He knew exactly what Comcast did when it wanted to get his attention (worked like a charm, too) and he voluntarily kept his account open. At best, that’s assent. Most would call it consent.
You just don’t fuck around with some things, the kinds of things Comcast is fucking with.
Yeah… the internet is serious business, man. I run my life or death systems on a personal cable internet connection.
That there are engineers inside Comcast willing to do the bidding of some very poor thinking business people says we don’t have adequate professional standards.
What sort of professional standards would help prevent an abusive customer from having their internet shut off? Leaving aside the fact that it probably wasn’t an engineer who shut his service off specifically, probably some administrator, how would a professional standard be written so as to protect Dave here? Would it have applied to his unceremonious dumping of all those blogs way back when? Does turning off a service without notice only matter when he’s the victim?
Dave, grow up.

Doncha know, access to the internet is vital when your veins run with RSS, your mother tongue is Frontier, and your daily sustenance comes from FriendFeed!
Seriously, though, what a fascinating headcase. Does he just have a massive sense of entitlement, does he really not understand the idea of excessive bandwidth use, or are his histrionic outbursts the sign of a boy whose coddling parents could never bring themselves to deliver consequences for misbehavior?

You people would be singing a different tune if you realized that our nuclear power plants, oil pipelines and Operation Iraqi Freedom are all running over high-speed Comcast lines.

I’m use to dave playing the victim, but that was the rant of someone not dealing with reality. I think dave’s off his meds.
