This is a paradigm that is very difficult for me to understand. I find it similar to someone who would say that a person who decided to pitch his tent in the middle of a freeway and tie himself there and is now subjected to being hit by cars on a daily basis, that it was "mostly due to circumstances beyond their control" to have done anything about the situation they find themselves in.

Some might say that you and others on this board by virtue of your repetitive bashing of the BoD are the drivers of the cars in this analogy and even though you know there is a tent (full of investors) you continue to take aim at the tent on your daily commute with no regard -or worse - an intentional disregard for the consequences.
