Wow SemperFiVet - a small step for facts and large leap for assumptions. Most of what you are saying is what you've learned on these forums - it is not FACT - it is entertainment! While everyone likes to bash Whiting and it seems he has clearly done a lot of very stupid things. Nothing you state about him has been proven to actually be true. CME and Whiting are not the same. Whiting's controlling interest does not make him the same as CME. The 49% minority investors certainly don't want to be lumped in with Whiting. The employees work for CME - not for Whiting, not for MMOGUL's! If Whiting has done the things you mention, then every minority investor and employee and CME would love to see him in jail - but until some evidence is produced (if it exists) and until due process (I think people are still innocent until proven guilty in the country even though that is not the case on the forums or in the pubic arena), the employees, officers and investors continue to try to keep the company alive and moving forward. Just because the majority owner is a crook (if he is), does not make everyone who associates with him a crook - and I am certain that none of the investors, employees or officers are collaborating with Whiting - they endure (resentfully) some of his actions, but they do not condone, agree with or collaborate with such actions - they focus on the developement of the game not on the politics.
Well for those that are allergic to BS I did this,
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
Distastful, arrogant, disrespectful, hateful and down right rude; and thats polite.
