My recently buried Digg comment :)

I've long wondered what it is that causes Digg community members at large to have so much hated for Twitter, and often be in a state of denial about its ongoing success, and now I think I've figured it out.

See, anyone can sign up for the damned thing, easily, and then build some insipid group of friends who talk about the most banal details of their life all day. These amature, childish Internet users are wasting bandwidth talking about meaningless BS and there's no way to vote them off the island.

Diggers clearly long for the old days when they, like me, were lone captains on a dark and foreboading sea, with only a VAX cluster and a shell account. Back then, not only were the conversations important (alt.rec.amime) but if you weren't interesting or important (see: like minded), the powerful users could do more than just ignore you--they could actually remove your access. 

Yes, yes. If only we could go back to the days when only the elite had harnessed this great thing, and we still controlled it. Then we could take the intenet away from these assholes like Ashton Kutcher, and use it for valid purposes, like IRC channels about Marvel Comics.

I guess Diggers don't really want Net Neutrality as much as they want a Net Meritocracy that recognizes their much longer history of banal Internet conversations as "merit."
