Alkemyst, when you post something like this, you know you're just going to stir up trouble. Bill Buck's post was a reply to a series of other people's posts and it really has to be read in that context. (For example, Ben brought up Bill's past and questioned his qualifications to run a company. Knowing that makes a difference in how Bill's post come across, doesn't it.) If people read Bill's words first, then he really does seem like a crazy person and it's no wonder people here are reacting the way they are. But knowing the whole story makes all the difference.
You may have given the link at ann.lu, but most people are going to read his words, form an impression, and then maybe go to ann.lu to read through the long thread to see why he wrote what he did. By then the damage is done, and your mission is accomplished.
Bill Buck shoots from the hip, but as far as I know what he has said is consistent with the facts. You did a very mean-spirited thing here by trying to manipulate people's reactions with this post.
As for Ben's response here, it isn't consistent with what he wrote at ann.lu (if anyone wants to check that out), so the good guys and bad guys in this are not quite as clear as most people here would like to think.
