Could you kindly link to a discussion article on "how to uninstall IOS 6" that has even close to the length of this post?

No.  Again, that violates the ToS of the forum.

You mean upgrade!!  IOS 7 to IOS 6 is an upgrade!!!

Simply not true.. As I have stated, I have personally downgraded many times, and so do the vast majority of beta testers ..multiple times, and on multiple devices. There are no significant technological constraints present. In fact the process of downgrading is much simpler than the in-place upgrading the IPhone currently supports .. as to downgrade you must wipe the phone and re-install fresh. An in place upgrade is quite a bit more complicated.

Just because you haven't run into the issues, doesn't mean they don't exist.  I have seen the issues personally during testing.

Well if you can't read the screen what good is it??

TJBUSMC1973, this thread has become a rant fest with no useful information being conveyed. I humbly suggest not wasting time here, because there are plenty of issues being discussed rationally in other threads in the forum that could use your outstanding knowledge and experience.

I think Larry just told TJ to go get him some coffee.

LMAO!!!

Actually, Larry gets the coffee.

Your wireless carrier can activate/upgrade you to an iPhone 4S or 5, which most likely still has iOS6 installed. I successfully did this today, and recovered everything from my older iPhone using the pre-iOS7 iTunes backup.

"They have NEVER supported downgrading.  iOS 7 is not unique in that respect.  This is a decision based on technological constraints, not on marketing ideas."

Who do you think you're fooling?

Ok, great. However, wouldn't Apple just push the update to you again?

I currently have it waiting for me to install. It is hogging around 2 GB of space. I don't plan on updating due to the fact I'll be changing carriers and phones in about a month. I want to keep the iphone as a "iPod Touch" type pf thing and not upgrade.

Not trying to fool anyone.

Apple has never provided a method of downgrading the iOS.  That doesn't mean it's impossible.  It's just not a very smart idea, and could cause issues, if not immediately, in the future.

This is a decision based on technological constraints, not on marketing ideas.

Again, who do you think you're fooling?
