Hate doesn't factor into it.

Hopefully a few people at that seminar will choose to speak up and take him to task, I guess we'll soon see.

I probably used the wrong word, lol. But you know what I mean, smartass <----- right word

I think people need to separate business relationships from personal relationships. I hear how fun and great Lars is, and I'm sure he is. I'm sure he buys tons of beers, parties like a rockstar, and is very enjoyable to be around. But that has nothing to do with business. Handshakes, beers, and "bros" don't pay the bills. I don't think there is any problem liking a guy personally, but disliking his business ethics, especially if it is hurting your pocketbook.

yeah and I am sure that is exactly what the people thought who put the show together. Lets trick Lars into coming to a panel so everyone can drill him....

I wouldn't be surprised if Lars shows up with a couple kegs before the seminar starts, starts passing out drinks and giving everyone hundreds.... by doing that 99% of them people in the room will think he is cool, a true bro, and all previous bad doings on his part would have been forgotten.
