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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
ASM’s targets, Floyd Schneider of Newton, N.J., and Darl Dumont, of L.A., are critical of Overstock.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
