reading the text of the above it does seem as if they're still unable to
control their 'bully-boy' urges when it comes to doing business.
(For those who doubt it, I reiterate that BG was a gifted businessman)

Josef Mengele was a "gifted" executioner. This fact does not merit him any
measure of respect.

Now that's how to write a letter! Fairplay to them.

You may very well think that. I, of course, could not possibly comment ;-)

I'm not sure where the "bully-boy" comes from in there. This is just
normal big business. "Hostile takeovers" don't happen without the
consent of the shareholders. Considering at the time of the $31 offer
YHOO was trading at $19, and even now (after a big spike probably caused
by the offer) it's trading at $28, it doesn't seem like there's too much
bullying going on.
Which part looked like "bullying" to you, out of curiousity?

There's a difference between what a stock is trading for and what the
majority of owners of that stock believe it is worth. In this case,
Yahoo's board has made it clear that the majority of their shareholders
value Yahoo stock at far more than MS is giving them credit for.

Yes. I'm still not seeing the "bullying". Maybe it's just the word.
"Bullying" implies some sort of use of force that "haggling" doesn't.

That's not bullying either. "If the Board of Directors doesn't agree,
we'll be forced to ask if the stock-holders agree with the Board of
Directors."
Hate to break it to you, but that's how corporations work. Indeed,
that's precisely why the BoD tries to maintain "stockholder value."
That's no more bullying in the corporate world than asking Congress to
vote on a bill is "bullying" in the political world. It's what you're
*supposed* to do.
