-
- Sigh - very very intellectually dishonest. Why don't you just admit that
- you were wrong?
-
- Michels stepped down NOT because of lawsuits (any company that size has
- lawsuits against it on an ongoing basis) nor because of EEO complaints
- (again, any company that size will have continual EEO complaints), but
- because of FOA.
-
- It has been undountedly pointed out that a LOT of people that are working
- on taking SCO public stand to lose a good chunk of money if the IPO
- is damaged -- and it will be damaged by any hint of unresolved scandal.
-
- Given that the two Michels have 35% of SCO, and assuming that an
- unresolved scandal could lower the IPO price by say, 10%, that would
- cost the Michels tens of millions of dollars.
-
- Tens of millions of dollars is enough to make ME step down.
-
-
- Oh, and by the way -- I did not imply "a lack of a rape charge as proof that
- there is no proof of wrongdoing."
-
-
- Again, you were wrong and seem unable to admit it.
-
- Do you realize the WORLD of difference between charges and lawsuits and EEO
- complaints?
-
- How would YOU like someone to erroneously say that you were charged with
- various felonies? I don't think you'd like it one bit. Get your act
- together and get your facts straight.
