Bill Gates, Hero

Is it better to be a bully in business and do great things with the wealth or to be graceful in business and squander a fortune? I really don't know but my initial reaction says the former.

False dichotomy alert!

You can be a graceful businessman and still make a profit, further a healthy market and win on it through a superior product instead of doing so through shady backroom deals that border the criminal.

I wasn't implying there there exists a dichotomy and that all businesses are one or the other. You did that on your own. I'm just saying that no business is perfect and having to choose between the two...

An example would be most helpful (to me, at least).
