Loop, You said , " I will live with it because HC got us to the very level that could be his demise, but it sickens me to watch the gleeful destruction of his name and reputation.

I agree with you 100 %.

Loop, you been longer than these guys.

And I respect your opinion over all others. I am with you, and voted accordingly (and not an insignificant number of shares). And I have advised friends (and clients) holding the stock (with many multiples of shares I hold) to vote accordingly.

MO,

i agree with you regarding the media, politicians, leaders and our country. i don't agree with the parallels you have drawn with idcc.
i think to compare the two is overly dramatic and a stretch. hc was the ceo of a small company. he did a good job getting us here but you must acknowledge the poorly executed moves over the years as well. times change, personnel change and so do successful companies.
yes corp could be leaning on this iss report for his own devious reasons. he could very well be trying to sell us cheap. i don't know. he has brought up issues regarding expenses, compensation and execution and this is what i care about. i voted against hc for those reasons and not for the
"gleeful distruction of his name and reputation".
with respect loop, i've seen no evidence that anyone here is operating with that intent.

good luck to all tomorrow.

Loop .. When did it become kool to question everything about others rather than worry about your own positive contributions to society.

I don't know when it happened but I do know that it was the genesis of the Corp-Buyers of our present world. My Dad is rolling over in his grave and I'm sure yours is too.

Loop, here here! On of the best post written in years!

[Catchnrel]

Have to recommend this post! Loop, much respect. So, so true. The politics of personal destruction is incredibly, well, destructive --- and this is true, unforunately, at many levels in our society.

Loop, I have enormous respect for you and your opinions, but on this one I have to disagree. I have seen NO ONE jumping for glee at the possible removal of HC, nor do I see the reports of Ron and Corp as stating half truths or rumors to simply muddy the reputation of HC. They have simply set out the compensation of HC over the last few years and asked a totally legitimate question regarding what was he being paid for and for how long will it go on. His minimal loan years ago, long since repaid, should not yield him an extremely large remuneration for the indefinite future. I am sorry that you disagree with the ISS report, but nowhere in your comments did I see where their report was in error. Yes I am sure they get paid well from their corporate clients. They definitely have an adgenda which sounds very much like Corp's but that, in and of itself, does not weigh against their opinion unless something they have stated is not true. I also truly resent the attempt to destroy our leaders and country, but to equate that with the instant situation does not fly IMHO.

SECOND MATTER, wouldn't it be great to have IDCC long timers agree to share a small portion of their new found wealth (assuming what I and nearly 100% of all posters believe) with a needed charity such as Habitat for Humanity. Can you image what a great boost that would give to society and set an example for other winners regarding true wealth? It could be done with increased valued shares so the tax consequences would be nil other than a large deduction. This would meet some of Bill D's great posts on wireless ledger. As a retired attorney, I am inactive and not allowed to practice, but it seems you or one of the other attorneys in practice could set up a mechanism to allow us to donate into it as a group and carry out the idea behind BD's True wealth. What sum could we raise is we all agreed to a 1-3% donation from any profit into this suggestion? Just a thought and perhaps others could comment. Keep up your spirits as you continue to progress in your recovery. Shoot your TV, it will only lead to depression!!! IMHO, no an actual fact! LOL Godspeed to your recovery and to IDCC's as well.

Loop re being sicken you said:

…..”I will live with it because HC got us to the very level that could be his demise, but it sickens me to watch the gleeful destruction of his name and reputation.”

We certainly have differing opinions of Mr. Campagna. You think he is the one that has held the company together. I think he is the one most responsible for holding the company back and not allowing it to achieve its true potential.

Aside from that, it is clear that he has excessively compensated himself (and his loyal supporters) over the years for less than stellar performance. This is unethical behavior IMO, and I don’t think a person with questionable ethics should be running our company. I am so passionate about this very issue, that it has led others to falsely believe that I have all kinds of ulterior motives.

I am not trying to “gleefully” destroy his reputation as you state. What I am trying to do is to help rid the company of what I firmly believe is bad leadership. This would be in the long-term best interests of all IDCC shareholders IMHO, even though it may cause some discomfort in the short-run.

Now could you please point to any of my previous posts, which you think reflects a “gleeful” attempt by me to destroy his name and reputation? There is nothing gleeful about any of this. Also I do not think that I have posted in a taunting, rub it in your face type manner, as you did in the following post when you thought ISS was not going to recommend a Withhold on Harry or For on the shareholder proposal:

Amen Loop. It is NOT a bad thing to be an American or a loyal supporter of IDCC and its management. Those that constantly critsize the US and its leaders, will not be happy until our way of life (capitalism) is taken down. they do not realize that if this country's leaders, the country, AND OUR WAY OF LIFE, should fail, then the freedoms that we all enjoy will be gone. there was a protest song from the 60s that most here will remember, the line from it goes something like "don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till its gone", well I hope that these big mouthed anti establishment folks realize that before it is too late and the big yellow taxi takes it all away
