- This is the second statement of this type you've made. The first was along the
- lines of "everybody has you in their kill files".
-
- I've found that people that have the security of their convictions do not
- need to mention how many other people feel the same way.

- Truth is not arrived at by a democratic (or mob) vote.

- O.K., what part have you missed?
-
- Did he step down because the police came and took him away?
-
- No.
-
- Did he step down because there were corporate bylaws that said he couldn't
- be an SCO executive if he went around kissing people?
-
- No.
-
- Did he step down because a lot of people did not want to be ASSOCIATED
- with a guy like this? And that because a lot of people did not want to
- be ASSOCIATED with him, he (and others that he needs for his own stock to
- remain valuable) was going to get hurt in the pocketbook?
-
- Yes.
-
- Now, what part of the concept of association do you not understand?
-
- To be blunt -- you are an utter asshole. As you admit, he stepped down because
- of scandal -- and money loss (potentially) derived from that scandal.
-
- And what do you think that scandal is all about? Scandal is the recognition
- of other people of behaviour that is highly improper (and often but not
- always illegal). In short, people saying they don't like that kind of behaviour
- and will not put up with it.

- These opinions are MINE, and you can't have 'em! (But I'll rent 'em cheap ...)
