Man Emails AT&T's CEO, Gets Threatened With C&D Order
An anonymous reader writes "After its recent bait and switch, AT&T went ahead and threatened someone emailing the company CEO about customer service concerns, namely with a query about tethering and eligibility rates. The email author also put up a voicemail recording of the company's response and how he managed to contact the CEO in the first place — through The Consumerist." As Engadget notes (as does the complaining customer's updated page), AT&T did at least offer an apology for the threat of legal action, which the company says was unauthorized.
a guy flew his plane into an IRS building because he didn't want to pay his taxes
True, but that guy was being robbed by an illegal statute that was going to be fixed after the bill was passed. (oh, where have I heard that one before?!)
a christian militia that was allegedly planning on murdering police officers
emphasis mine. And what does being Christian have anything to do with it. I can guarantee, if this group was as malicious as the media make them out to be, all of the Christian sects would stand against their actions.
people screaming threats at e.g., Obama, at conservative/tea party rallies.
Most of the TEA party rallies around the nation are very peaceful, except for the liberals trying to subvert the party. Many of those people are then asked to leave.
I'm glad that the FBI is checking up on these things
Heaven forbid they check on the real terrorists that attempt to blow up their pants on planes, their trucks on streets, or check on personnel that may be psychotic because he is of a certain religion (and are afraid of a profiling charge). Oh, that's right, there is no terrorism, there are no terrorists, and jihad is a legitimate tenet. I will agree with you. I do not want an assassination. It is interesting to note, however, that it is usually the left that are the ones committing the violence. (Don't like those sources, doesn't matter, fact is fact no matter the source.)
Problem with all this was that BP outsourced the drilling to a subcontractor, this is a thing which is not really often mentioned in the news, so theoretically BP did not fuck it up but the subcontractor which was specialized on drilling. Not that I want to defend BP here, but this is a thing which should be mentioned more often.
