Not sure, but I wonder if someone will find something to disqualify him...

Interesting idea. A well funded competitor could astroturf a "DDOS" outrage attack and prevent a company/org from ever choosing/having a functional CEO.

A functional CEO would remain so even in the face of an astroturfed outrage attack. Negative PR, including targeting persons rather than the company directly, isn't exactly a new feature of the business environment.

I think HN might have an opinion conformity issue...

Oh come on guys, not my internet points!

I need those to prove my superiority when voicing our unanimous opinions.
