Net Neutrality: Lies and Ignorance

I've been thinking about posting on Net Neutrality a lot lately, but I've never pulled the trigger. It is a complicated issue, and emotions run high, especially for those in favor of the Net Neutrality legislative wording that is being proposed (which I don't support, btw).

A couple of postings at TechRepublic on this I thought were important enough to pass along. First, we find out that Net neutrality proponents flagrantly lie about Craigslist blockage. Then even more interesting (though a bit heavy on technical jargon for any non-geeks out there), is the posting that Net neutrality extremists should stop playing engineers. I don't agree with the last proposal of this author, as I'd rather see no requirements of the type he proposes on any pipe expansions by telcos or anyone else, but this is a great post otherwise that provides good reasons to oppose the extreme Net Neutrality backers.
