Mama, you must be polar bear to have such ice in your heart.
Worse than that, she's a Libertarian! <g>
The guy basically admitted and acknowledged his mistakes, the only thing he blames bashers for is cruel gloating.
Well.. on its face, perhaps, but then again this board hasn't been known lately for taking things on their face. There is a sort of implication, if only by omission, that he agrees with the general sentiment on that board that CYBR decline in share price is the work of short sellers and nothing actually wrong at the company. And he has nothing but positive feelings for the very people who encouraged him to take the actions which led to his own self-destruction! Maybe this could be blamed on unclear thinking brought on by his state of mind, but this is still awfully bass-ackwards.
If you go look up that post on the RB CYBR thread, and read the many replies to it, the sentiment of blaming the shorts gets expressed more overtly. A lot of, "we'll make those damn shorts pay for what they did to you" kind of stuff. One respondent, apparently from a law firm looking to recruit Martin as a lead plaintiff in a class-action suit against CYBR, got told to hit the bricks by about a half dozen responses.
The real tragedy is that everybody seems to have learned the wrong lesson from Martin's personal tragedy, that rather that carefully weigh what people have to say about a stock on both sides, they simply must shout louder to drown out any possible negativity.
It gets to the point that, if you don't take some sort of Darwinian standpoint on this whole state of affairs, the whole thing gets to be almost too much to take. |
