Of course he's naive. He's just out of college, would you have been more savvy at that age?

No. I didn't even say I was any less naive :D I am talking from experience, almost got into trouble because of similar behaviour, but after thinking hard about the situation, I decided that I was actually in the wrong for thinking I can just take what I learned and give it for free to the world and my old company's competitors to do as they wish. I can see how I, as the CEO, would've not thought nicely of such behaviour.

Who cares what ex-CEOs think of you? They are competing and trying to win and you are getting in their way.
