This is supposed to be a forum for civil discourse. As someone who lives in Texas but has friends and family all over the country, I don't find banning all my calls from crossing state lines to be a very civil suggestion. How about all the calls that spoof Illinois numbers that call my Illinois-numbered cell phone? How is keeping me from calling my mother going to stop that?

Fuck your ban.

Easily. It's the nuclear option. The state of Texas will make arrests for the illegal Industry they allow. It will force action. One day later you can call your mother

And please don't give me a lecture about civil discourse. I clearly stated my opinion

If I am banned. Fuck my ban as you clearly stated

The reason people are reacting badly to this is that your suggestion amounts to collective punishment, which is widely recognized as a human rights concern. Your suggestion is uncivilized. We've got a right to critique it. If you feel "lectured," that's your problem.

You clearly stated your opinion that people in Texas should not be allowed to call people in other states. That's what you clearly stated.

Yes I did. What point we're you attempting to make.
