While that is often true, this is not the case here.
The purpose of the "downvote" is to push poor discussion to the bottom of the page.
The rhetorical questions and obviously poor comparisons add nothing to the discussion.
I wish they didn't, but as far as I can tell it's not explicitly against the guidelines, so what can you do really.
I don't agree with GP (as in, I'm pro-neutrality) but there are interesting points there that stir the free-market-ist in me. On some level I think 'let them' and I'll vote with my money.
However, I don't think that will actually work, it doesn't seem to be working with mobile phones even on price of text/voice/data; never mind data-neutrality.
