GST, Bob is a smart informed guy who has taken your position apart on the options. We're all here to learn. You tried to stake out some high moral ground for expensing options (politically correct with the corporate scandals in the background) but you see, GST, it's not a moral issue. It's an accounting issue. No one hid. No one lied. There is no conspiracy to defraud anybody. Then you just kept banging on the "ethics" of the whole thing while Bob took you apart with the facts.

You're not interested in frank discussion - you're only interested in defending your positions with insults. Frank discussion would require you to actually counter the arguments themselves, not just have tantrums. And when presented with third-party information that supports and even repeats another persons points, one genuinely interested in frank discussion would not respond with "you made that up, you moron." I suggest that, if you really want frank discussions, you grow up and quit with the tantrums and name-calling. If you can do that, you will take away both the motivation and the material for my ridicule, and I'll be nice and civil back to you, even when I don't agree with you. PS: You didn't seem to mind my smart-assed comments and ridicule when it was directed, along with your own, at craig.
