Comment on Wi-fi calling and how phone companies who aren’t T-Mobile try to scam you by Emily

I also considered going with another phone company… but I’m sticking with T-mobile as well. That is one of the many reasons.

I do… NO spam ever actually makes its way to the site itself, just in pending comments.

There are lots of great anti-spam plugins out there — are you using any?

I’ve had great luck with the combination of Bad Behavior and Akismet. They block hundreds — sometimes thousands — a day for me!

@David,
I disagree, but I approved your comment because I’m not one of those people who only approves comments I agree with. The only thing I don’t approve is spam.

I’ve got no problem if this person actually believes that Obama is a communist, but it’s against company policy to use the grounds to push a political agenda.

That said, I was raised and influenced by people who smoked and drank, but I’ve never puffed a cigarette (or a joint) and I’ve never had a drop of alcohol.

Also, if you actually believe that Barack Obama’s ideal for America is a communist solution, I’d really like to see your facts.

He expressed his opinion on his car. So what? Obama admits to being heavily influenced by Carl Marx, and if he had his way we would end up as communists. Calling a spade a spade shouldn’t be insulting to you.

Interesting situation. Personally, although I hate the guys opinion, I do think that the situation got a little crazy. His message is on his car outside. It’s not like he is wearing it on his shirt. His message is idiotic and ill conceived, but, he is not bringing it in to the store necessarily.

How far does it go? When and were can a person express themselves, and how far can a person go before they have gone past being appropriate in public entirely.

Personally, I feel that if it is on his car, and the car is not directly linked to the store, then the company really should have no say. As far as the angry ladies…well, you can’t please everyone, that’s for sure. They also have the right and freedom not to shop there and they definitely exercised that right in a booming way.

Interesting story. Thanks.
