<p dir="ltr">Responding to your last few emails: could you please assume good faith and be constructive? Even in your quote there was a clear big if. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I did not have the chance to see Patricio's full response, but I can live with what I heard. That does not mean that the discussion is over, but given past and current conversations it is unlikely indeed that wikimedia will take the absolutist stand on net neutrality as you seem to interpret it. And personally I'm always happy when we at least consider the nuanced side. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As to Lila's comment, I think this list consists mostly of community members that liaise to their respective communities. It has proven in the past to be a valuable discussion forum and it would be a waste if we would limit ourselves only to the wiki pages.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Net neutrality is about fast/slow Lane. WP0 is about a free Lane. Bis argument was pretty sensible. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm not sure why we should fear a free Lane. The worst it does is providing free access, not a better QOS or a filtered/unfiltered access to the Internet.</p>

<br>You like "net neutrality"? Go buy your Internet access from a company that promises to adhere to those principles. Or better yet, raise some money and start your own infra and ISP business. Don't force others to play by your rules - that would be self-righteous.<br>
