What are the odds that the above comment comes from a Comcast IP address?

Either that or the person has no clue as to how bittorrent operates.

Your bouncer analogy is ok except in the case of bittorrent, that delay means "go away"...

Call it blocking, delaying, traffic-shaping, anything you want, but it still hampers the use of the bandwidth for which that customer has already paid.

It's paying the club to let you in and then the bouncer states that you're not allowed in at this time which causes you to leave.
