No outrage, Bell says

Bell spokesman Jason Laszlo on Friday reiterated the company's position —that it was shaping traffic in order to prevent a small portion of bandwidth hogs from slowing speeds down for all customers.

He said there has been no backlash from customers, despite the incidents of the past week.
BS bell just ignors the outrage!!!!

"Outrage" from 0.01% of customers isn't worth noting, and if it's the bandwidth hogs that are "outraged", the ISP doesn't want you as customers anyway.

Everyone,

Please keep in mind that we're trying to maintain the sympathy of the public & the press. The comments quoted are both outrageous & wrong and as such they deserve hearty but measured response. Calls, letters, emails & faxes of complaint are legitimate & justified. But some here are suggesting harassing Bell staff & offices. While that is extremely tempting it will only hinder our cause. They are trying to position all p2p users as pirates (just look at the callous comments Bell had regarding Mt. Sinai Hospital to see how blind they are to any potential legitimate use of the technology.) If we give them the chance to play the victim of a group of out-of-control pirates that's just what they're going to do. That's what I would do in their place.

Please tone down the rhetoric & prankish aspects of your response to Bell. If we give them added weapons they'll make use of them to our dismay, not to mention it will put Rocky in an impossible position when he tries to deal with them on the corporate level.

There's nothing wrong with letting it be known that much anger is bubbling up, but if we turn that anger to harassment we'll lose not only sympathy but also credibility. Hundreds (possibly even thousands) of responsible complaints to all proper offices (and officers) of Bell, as well as regulating agencies & political figures will be our best step for right now.

Let's hold something in reserve.

I'd also advise keeping this in mind on subjects such as Jason Laszlo's Facebook page. His personal life is no issue of ours. The legitimate outrage of his page - and this is fair game, is that he refers to the press as lemmings. That shows just what he thinks of the media & one can extrapolate that he feels these "lemmings" are following his corporate line which apparently even he has trouble swallowing. This is good material for us as it severely undercuts Bell's argument that this is required and should help to focus media on the story behind Bell's story. Let's not blow it with personal or ad-hominem attacks. In other words, let's keep above the level of name-calling that Bell has adopted in dismissing all p2p users as bad actors.
