"but I think is just sad that people work so hard to make something happen ---honest and good men---and all you want to do is destroy-"

I have never understood why some folks think that short selling is some sort of 'destruction'. It is merely an analysis of the future of the company. Predicting that a stock price will go up does not 'create', and conversely predicting that a stock price will go down does not 'destroy'. The fact of the matter is that a successful short seller identifies companies that are in the process of self destruction, and profits from that analysis if it is correct, in the same fashion that a long profits from a correct analysis that the company is creating shareholder value. Ultimately, management is the creator or destroyer of shareholder value, not the traders in the secondary market.
