Poll: Would you support the Consumerist in the Dell scandal?

Update: Dell has apologized! Richard from Dell has informed us that not only is Dell apologizing to the Consumerist, but Dell will also work on reforming some of their more confusing pricing practices. Great job Richard. Thanks for relating to us as fellow bloggers instead of potential litigants. We like you a lot more than the lawyer lady. I don't really think your CEO plays WOW, though (I need some screen shots as proof).

Thanks to everyone for showing support for this boycott! I guess bloggers really can accomplish a lot when we stick together. Please turn in your torches and pitchforks at the front desk.

End of update, begin original post:

The Consumerist's latest expose on Dell's shady sales practices prompted a pompous takedown notice from Dell's corporate legal death squad.

The Consumerist often stands up for the little guys. Now I say it is time for us to stand up for them. If Dell follows through with its legal threats, I will personally boycott all Dell products for life and tell anyone who would listen about Dell's shady business practices.

Will you join me? (Note: You can select multiple options)

After we get enough responses, I will send the replies to Dell's investor relations and let Dell know that you cannot silence bloggers for telling the truth.
