Kevin, I want to modify my previous post to you. You actually seem to be one of the few who tries to independently analyze and discuss the substance of issues.

I never followed Overstock and don't have an opinion on the stock or Byrne as a CEO. From the surface, it certainly looks like he accomplished a miracle and compared to most CEO's, should be beatified.

He's taking the time to take on something he feels strongly about in an altruistic way, naked shorting and the activities of hedge funds.

I'd have posted his article if he were some shlub. His message was well written, understandable and worthy of discussion. Yet, when it was posted, the minions of former guru suckups decided someone had broken the code of dishonor that exists on some of the threads they populate.

I have no problem discussing and debating the substance of his article or those by others on each side of the naked shorting debate. I don't have the time or the inclination to research a poster or someone else's life history and really don't care because I'd prefer to debate substantively.

These idiots who come basically to stalk and attack usually have very little to say, other than to tear down. They have very little orginal or substantive to post. I'll stand on what I posted on the other thread. Take a look at the posts from the beginning of the year. I brought substance and was attacked. I can give it so that doesn't bother me. The wimps banned me, when I gave it back to me, and still claim to be beacons of free internet speech.
