\t\t\t\tRegarding my post on the attacks<\/a> on Phil Kerpen’s Forbes article on net neutrality, Doc Searls does the right thing:<\/a><\/p>\n

\nHe’s right.<\/p>\n

In an email yesterday, a friend complimented the post Richard corrected. Here’s what I wrote back: Look at it again. I’ve changed it a bit to make the logic work better. But I did it in a hurry. Not sure I didn’t lose something<\/em>. Well, the problem wasn’t what I lost, but what I didn’t find in the first place, because I didn’t take the time look deep enough.<\/p>\n

Blogging isn’t the main thing I do. It’s a side thing. I purposely spend as little time with it as I can, while still doing it. In this respect it isn’t journalism. Yet I’m still “supposed to be a journalist”.<\/p>\n

That’s right too.<\/p>\n

So there’s a corollary to “live and learn”. The longer you live, the more you re-learn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s a hugely impressive and generous reaction and I admire Doc for being man enough to write it. <\/p>\n

On the other side of the table, Mike Maslick<\/a> and Broadband Karl<\/a> refuse to cop to rash analysis. That tells me a lot. If there were more people in the world like Doc, we’d come to a happy resolution on hard issues like net neutrality a lot sooner. And you know what? That’s another thing that the Deloitte and Touche Telecom Report says, and the larger point of Doc’s post. <\/p>\n

The hugely partisan, emotional debate over net neutrality that’s mostly about name-calling (Telco shill! Google bitch!<\/em>) and fear-mongering isn’t helping anybody. <\/p>\n

Let’s all take a step back, cool off, and look for common ground.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
