First. I responded to THIS post's abuse of the loaded expression, UNLOADING SHARES. The terminology is widely interpreted to indicate a complete or near complete loss of faith in a company by its executives. That's a huge unfounded implication to make on a 10,000 share transaction for a stock that regularly trades 25,338,600 shares a month. Those are the facts, my good friend.

Second. Defamation? Please. The dramatic reaction only serves to reinforce initial observations.

Third. Where did age enter the equation? Immaturity is completely independent of age. I know 60 year olds who completely lack maturity and 16 year olds who model it, impressively. Growing up is a lifelong process, we're all on that path; hopefully.

Further, the objection is to what one considers a grossly inaccurate and potentially damaging headline. Readers are free to disagree with this, but in my insignificant, biased, individual opinion it's immature journalism that reflects poorly on SA. Accusing the writer of something as absurd as 'defamation' for making the observation only further illustrates the need for adult supervision and guidance.

Finally, how is it that you consider yourself free to mischaracterize and defame the CEO of a fine company, and then find plain editorial criticism -- reckless abuse of "unloading shares" in a headline -- as a personal attack? Surely, we all want to believe that you are a perfectly wonderful person, but in this reader's opinion, that kind of headline writing falls far short of the standards for SeekingAlpha.
