You're just following him around like an ignorant, faithful puppy and trying to support him. Saum, is that you?

Dude! I'm amazed at how easily you are manipulated and baited into a response. The fact that you answered every damn troll informs so much about your personality.

You can't take criticism at all, and you can't let it go un-answered. THAT, sir, is why you are disliked and why you will continue to fall far short of being the leader your employees deserve.

You are the reason why Overstock will never reach it's full potential. Potential created by massive effort by it's many wonderful employees, but held back at every turn by ego and fear.

The fact that you have voting control of 80% of OSTK means you will never be replaced, and why the company will never truly flourish. The shareholders of any other company would have kicked you, Stormy, and Dave to the curb by now. Jonathan Johnson is the best thing you have going right now in upper management. He is the leader that everyone wants. He is the one they would follow. Not you. Accept that, put him in charge and then Overstock will truly succeed.

You think the world of wall street sees you as an troublesome CEO who needs to be dealt with. The reality is that you and your company are small potatoes to them. You don't have any mindshare AT ALL with these guys. They do deals daily with more value than overstock will ever have.

Someone shorted a dot-com stock like ten years ago. Boo hoo, get over it already. You've wasted $20+ million in court fighting against the big bad empire, and have nothing to show for it.

Here's my question: Will you please just get over yourself, and recognize that no one is out to get you?

Related note: Seriously, no one is out to get you! Quit moving your damn office every three months!
