Well, you're right O.K.? It is "speculation" and "here-say". How do we know this exchange really took place? How do we know that there isn't some "alterior motive" in staging a verbally horrific post on ihub, undeniably the "Ebay of Pennyland"?
There is "no gain" for the CEO to curse out a shareholder, nor to "stage a horrific exchange" publicly. The ihub member might just be disgruntled, having lost his ass on the last RS. He might have lost $100k who knows right? However, Russ may just be a "beaten man" and the shareholder may have called him at the right time and pushed his buttons.
Just playing the devil's advocate here...don't rule anything out.
