i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.
I checked on local fiber startups, and they don't have any similar restrictions. I think I should be able to send mail without anything more than an internet connection. the canspam act already makes spamming a crime. I don't need to be policed by Comcast.
my biggest gripe is that I'm technically violating my agreement with Comcast by pointing a tld at my IP address and hosting nextcloud and ssh. my second biggest gripe is that they block mail ports so I can't even self host my mail
i have experience and perspective and opinions. when i see people i agree with, i'm less inclined to comment. if i feel i can correct someone or point out a flawed premise, i'm highly inclined to do so. most people don't like having their unspoken beliefs questioned, and that has led, often, to being called a troll or similar.
am i a fool, bore, or drama starter? i suppose that is up to the people i encounter.
my comment wasn't to you but it was for you, and anyone else. most of my comments have no expectation that anyone will respond, i'm just pointing out, as i said, incorrect or flawed statements.
we're clearly not going to agree about this. spam is already illegal, and ISPs are not police.
