Net neutrality nonsense: Can we, please, just not all lose our minds? [View all]

And if all that wasn't ridiculous enough, FCC chair Ajit Pai is being personally targeted in the real world by people who have lost their minds to such an alarming degree that they are scribbling messages on cardboard naming his kids and taping them onto lampposts near his home.

"Is this really the world you want [kid's name] and [kid's name] to inherit?" one demented notice reads. "How will they ever look you in the eye again?"

Another reads, no lie: "Dad murdered democracy in cold blood."

According to one report, Pai's home was also inundated with pizzas over the weekend, with a new one arriving every 30 minutes. A harmless prank or a sign that people have lost their minds?


I dunno, I don't feel too sympathetic to Mr. Pai, but I wouldn't do the pizzas thing to him, etc.
