Over on FierceSarbox, we've discussed the phenomena of CEOs posting on the Internet anonymously. One hedge fund manager at least had the guts to identify himself. "I'm Cliff Asness and I approved this message. Who are you anonymous little liars? Why don't you come see me some time? Sign your name liars, I dare you. Then let's chat." So goes a post by the head of hedge fund AQR Capital posting on Dealbreaker.com in response to an item on layoffs at his firm and one about him laying off his secretary of 10 years. 

The post continued: "Nah, Internet's a great place for anonymous ignorant fools who feel like tough guys in the know when they post their verbal vomit. Enjoy your fun while it lasts. When we go back to doing great for clients what are you going to do for fun?" You can't really win by engaging in these sort of public displays. Good advice: Never post angry.
