Not only am I boycotting "Hurt Locker", I'm also avoiding the following: Diary of the Dead; Tangled; The Keeper; The Whistleblower; The Company You Keep; and By Virtue Fall. The letter written to Chartier expressed an opinion in polite terms, defended the action to be taken, and was an appropriate communication from a consumer to a producer. Chartier's response was arrogant, rude, boorish, and failed to directly address the concerns of the consumer. I certainly won't do business with a person or company that responds to a politely-worded complaint with a flame of that magnitude.
Thanks for reminding me. I just made a donation through the Sita website. Sorry about the Paypal, I don't have Google Checkout. Sita rocks, and thanks for copylefting the film.

And the government was exempted from responsibility in that one.

Appropriate? Yes.
If you don't hit them hard enough, they won't pay attention.
