This is particularly true when his beliefs, delusions, denial and compulsive need to express them are indicating that he is suffering from some sort of metal and/or personality disorder.

Opinion is one thing. There is also reasonable and unreasonable, healthy and unhealthy. "Obama is a great guy" is an opinion. "Obama is a unicorn and I have conclusive proof and everything you say to refute it is wrong because its all part of the governments conspiracy to fool you and you just dont get it because you are sheep"... is not an "opinion" and not healthy and is a strong indicator of some pretty deep mental issues that ought be addressed as that person has clearly become completely unhinged.

Thinking that you aren't judged for who you are, what you are, how you act and the things you say is ignorant. Everything you do is a reflection on you as a person. Everything your employees do and say is a reflection on you, on them, on your products, on your business and your own judgement as a business person.

Do you genuinely believe that people are going to do business with someone they can clearly see is delusional and has no real grasp on reality... and that clearly believes anyone who does not see the world in the same way he does is someone who is less intelligent than he is?

Hi Squealer,

You are of course right. All I am saying is that each person is entitled to their beliefs, that GFY is a good forum to express those beliefs and to invite debate on those beliefs, and that personal beliefs should not, in my opinion anyway, be any kind of measure against the company unless it was extreme in nature. Arguing about 9/11 from the point of view as casual observers as we all are, should never be taken personally.

Cheers!
