    How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Municipal Wi-Fi Networks after all they have been through?

    All you people care about is GRASS ROOTS! GRASS ROOTS! GRASS ROOTS!

    LEAVE IT ALONE! You are lucky even to have Wi-Fi you bastards! LEAVE MUNICIPAL WI-FI ALONE!

    Please!

    Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publicly bash a networking infrastructure who is going through a hard time?

    Leave Municipal Wi-Fi alone, please.

    LEAVE MUNICIPAL WI-FI ALONE RIGHT NOW. I MEAN IT.

    Anyone that has a problem with them, you deal with me, because it is not well right now.

    LEAVE IT ALONE!
