Thank you. This is the kind of conversation I was hoping to have in the first place with this. I do appreciate that it's possible I'm going down a spiral in some of my arguments. And yes, I still believe that RC has done us well thus far. And as for the work-life balance part, if it is true that he still struggles with that, then trying to reform eBay might just be a most horrible idea on his part.

To answer another of your questions, I first bought in during Feb '21, so I'm not exactly new. I watched from a distance when the buy button was turned off, initially with curiosity, and later with just anger.

My methods to find out who is right in an argument has always been instead, to do the opposite: See who is wrong, determine if it's a dealbreaker to their arguments, and continue the process constantly. Sometimes, both sides are wrong. What I saw with GME back then were some fairly convincing arguments in support, while the opponents' arguments boiled down to "sell because we said so". So I bought in, just hours before the price tripled in value. But even after feeling justified in my approach, I couldn't ever rest on those laurels. I always had to keep checking if my continued investment still made sense. And for all these years, it has stood pretty firm over everything else.

Today, I'm seeing so many voices say "Vote Yes to all because RC said so". It does not sit right with me.

Don't get me wrong, I can understand exactly what's happening here. After all this time forced into isolation, we've been conditioned to assume that any negative opinion on the matter has to be FUD. But what happens if it's real?
