New York Post – Overstock.com’s war against its critics is taking an ugly new twist, as a Web site aided and supported by its management is leveling sharp charges against two Internet message boardposters.
The site, AntiSocialMedia.net, launched bitter attacks last week on the message board critics, accusing them of participating to various degrees in a conspiracy to malign the anti-naked short selling movement that Overstock.com supports.
ASM’s targets, Floyd Schneider of Newton, N.J., and Darl Dumont, of L.A., are critical of Overstock.
ASM accused Dumont of “marginaliz[ing] those who’ve spoken out against the practice of strategic failure to deliver.” It accused Schneider of something sharply more serious: bashing stocks like Overstock “for compensation and in coordination with hedge funds shorting the stock (or worse).” It also said Schneider makes a “living out of lying.”
