Getting the Best Deal From Dell — Or Not
Nom du Keyboard writes "When The Consumerist published 22 tips for getting the best deal from Dell Computers, according to a self-described former Dell sales manager, Dell fired back with a take-down notice. You might want to look quickly, in the event it does get taken down. The Consumerist's lawyer's initial response was to deny the takedown request."
Maybe this was just a troll, but I don't think so. It sounds that you really believe you are in the right. Do you think that preventing people from sharing information with legal action is the correct way for corporations to maintain their profit margins? Please do elaborate.
And that "hippie dust" you smell, that is called compassion and balance, and it is fueled by what many call "web 2.0" - a revolution in human norms with several billion people all awakening to the gross and ridiculous activities of many wealthy corporations of the world. You really should live it up while you still can karma will catch you.
Your attempt at a pejorative dig shows how intolerant and ignorant you are of what is happening outside of the TV-drivel-eating masses in the US-centric, capitalist, English-speaking money-worship isolated culture you espouse.
Nice cherry-pick on your retort too. The OP was written after I RTFA and your bolding of one phrase to support your argument is, well, powerful in it's own way.
