  The point is, not everything is about the US.

    This is an example of how you can make factually true statements that are contextually irrelevant.

    When a major outage occurs on the day in US politics when 15 states all vote for their party nominees, it’s not unreasonable to question whether there was malicious intent.

    You’re like a “not all men” or “all lives matter” person barging into a conversation, hijacking a perfectly reasonable conversation to push your agenda. Just stop.

      When a major outage occurs on the day in US politics when 15 states all vote for their party nominees

      In contests that are all foregone conclusions. And it’s a social media outage, not an outage affecting voting machines or something. It’s ridiculous that you would think that would have something to do with American primaries.

      Did you even look up what other things might be happening around the world today before deciding that this had to be about the US?

        oh I see, you just suck at reading comprehension

        Please go reread the post you replied to. Nobody, myself included, “decided it had to be about the US”. They asked a question. They wanted to know if it could be malicious, and the thing that made them think about it was the fact it’s Super Tuesday.

        The only thing I’ve ever been arguing is that it is reasonable to think about whether BGP could be abused for malicious intent when you realize it’s Super Tuesday. That’s it. It’s a reasonable connection to make that would precipitate the question. They didn’t even ask “is this because it’s Super Tuesday?”

        But go off, chief. Can’t pass up a perfectly good opportunity to let your angst out
