For NO on 2 folks only
Guys, PLEASE STOP. The vote is over. Let Jerry, Brad, Ken, Ed, Joel and anyone else on the yes side have the last word. Because they are RIGHT. We do not understand how much the inability to use the additional 5 million options will affect IDCC's future. It is useless to argue about this subjective judgment. We do not know what long term affects the PR will have on the stock. No one can. If you are planning any activism, don't talk about it or defend your right to do it here. You are free to do it and no one can stop you. Just be sure not to mention the board. Why argue about it when there is no benefit that can come from it?
So please, the vote is over, and the institutions got their way. Our votes could not have changed it no matter what. Let the yes folks vent in peace. They feel just as passionately about their investment as we do, and they are understandably upset after seeing something happen that they believe will hurt the long term value of our stock. It is easy to push the buttons of someone who is mad - be above that. Even if they seem to lash out, let it go. Like Lincoln after the civil war, let's strive to be magnanimous to the other side. We can rebuild this board into a great source of information and a short cut to important DD.
Before posting again, ask yourself what will it accomplish other than making yourself feel better by telling that #%@#!% off. If you can't come up with a good answer, please don't post. If you feel someone misunderstood you or your point, send a PM or an e-mail.
To everyone [ I know you're reading this, you naughty yes people ;-D ], please follow Jim's request to use the coffee shop for the off topic. It really isn't that tough to use two boards and we can have a lot of fun and camaraderie over there while keeping this board focused on the important information about our common investment.
Thanks,
