    So you're confirming there is no link.

    Yes, I am. There can only be a link if there's a document to link to, no? <img class=" src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />

    Then why lump my posts in with "right-wing conspiracy theorists"? It's not a theory, it's a fact that there's nothing to link to.

    There is the 85 page document that they approved, publicly available, that sets out the proposal in considerable detail. Is there supposed to be more?

    It is Oblamo's hand written manifesto detailing the steps needed to destroy the internet that Al Gore invented. Conspiracy theorists are in possession of it, tell their followers that it will bring the end of the world upon us, but refuse to share it. It is a secret.

    Well, because you keep referring to something that doesn't exist, and along with a few others here, keep talking about that thing -- which doesn't exist -- as being some master plan to destroy the internet and stifle our speech, and keep asking for a link to that thing which doesn't exist, and don't seem to understand that one cannot provide a link to something that doesn't exist.

     

    What else does that sound like, if not a conspiracy theory?

     

    Btw, can you provide us the link to the RNC memo that apparently talks about paying off Pai and O'Reilly off for their votes? (See what I did there?)

    Also, why in the world do you keep insisting that I'm a Republican? I've said many times I'm not over years of posting. Are you unaware of this?

    Would it be fair for me to label you a Communist, Marxist or even a racist based on your posts? I doubt it.

    I believe that it was published, written in secret code within the ACA, of which NN is an essential element designed to subjugate the masses, confiscate their guns, force them to embrace atheism (or maybe it was Islam), and slow the Internet to a crawl which, apparently, will destroy space-time itself.

    We are aware that you are apparently trying very hard to change the subject, all of a sudden.

    Ah. Now YOU are a "we"? No, you're responsible for your posts. Don't try to argue a weak point as if "everyone" agreed with you.

    Where did I call you one? If I did, I did not mean to -- I take that back.

     

    You've said before that you're a Rand Paul supporter. So I am guessing you're a Libertarian. (That said, I do think that L's are closer to R's in their views that to D's, the big difference being in social policies; but that's most certainly not an R).

     

    A lot of the views you're expressing here -- and cites you're coming up with -- are primarily Republican view and Republican media outlets, and you seem to share those views. That's all I am pointing out.

    When did "we" come to mean "everyone"? "We", in this case, clearly refers to the FCC - which has taken over the accounts of all those here who appear to support NN. And you are still avoiding the subject.

    Don't be shocked when you see a right-wing conspiracy theorist post just that AND be serious about it. I am always amazed that on the one hand conspiracy theorists tell us that government employees are absolutely incompetent but on the other hand the same employees are masterful enough to contrive elaborate schemes to undermine the USA and keep the plan a secret at the same time.

    Oh damn - our cover has been blown. Quick - I need a non sequitur to hide behind.

    I think you may want to move along.... at this point, you're being dense, or playing someone being dense on the internet.

    Here's what I found regarding the 300 page document these partisan kooks keep referring,

     

    No, the FCC does not have a 332 page plan to regulate the internet. Tom Wheeler has a plan, although it is much much shorter to 332. The 300+ pages is for a document that includes his plan, a long explanation of the reasons and the authorities for each part, and a long look at the large number of comments that were received after last years FCC plan.

    The FCC will have a plan if the Commissioners vote in a couple day to make adopt Wheeler's plan, at which point it will then be available for public comment so that we can all see it and comment. After that, the FCC decides to adopt it or not.

     

    What the FCC voted on yesterday was not 300 pages. What they did vote on will be made available for the public to comment on, then the FCC will decide to adopt it or not.

    I also found this,

     

    The Republican commissioner (Ajit Pai)  acknowledged that the actual regulations take up just eight pages of the document.
