Mr. Yang, if you're value was being shown you wouldn't have to move to attempting to slam your opponent... its because of your lack of value that you've been put in to a corner where you're only viable platform is to attack Icahn.

Stop, think about it, and ask yourself, if you're so great and have done so many great things... why aren't you touting that as opposed to saying Icahn is bad. What you're really saying at that point is I may suck but not as much as Icahn (what kind of leadership is that)? so basically should we be looking for another slate becuase none of your arguements have been around the value your team (that's still left in piece:)) has added.

Jerry Yang created Yahoo, while at college, to help people find things on the Web.

Carl Icahn dismantled TWA, while a billionaire, to make himself more money and put people out of work.

Let's see, who has a better track record with real people...

People like Carl Icahn are what's wrong with America. Greedy, conniving parasites who leech off the hard work of others.

What exactly does he produce?

NOTHING! He has yet to "turn-around" any of the corporations he gets involved with. This guy plays a elaborate game of blackmail.

He drives up the stock price and then sells out. If any of us did that, we'd be in jail. It's called stock manipulation.
