I saw this post on another board and couldn't resist:

Me too. Being egotistical is one thing if you have the brains and resources to accomplish something good. This would only make you obnoxious and disliked but perhaps successful.
Lance on the other hand is egotistical, greedy, untrustworthy, dishonest, and moronic, with just enough savvy to sucker some innocent and otherwise astute people into his sham franchise gimmick.
I heard someone else say that he had the opportunity to do something great with a seemingly good idea but he let this ridiculous Napolean complex (stemming from perhaps a small wee-wee) ruin his reputation and a few people's lives.
If you are very succesful in whatever you do then chances are you will have stepped on some toes and not everyone will agree with you or even necessarily like you. Lance on the other hand thinks that to be successful you must totally piss off everyone you meet. Some roads less travelled are less travelled for a reason. Not everyone is willing to take the steep and rocky path towards becoming a successful entrepreneur and those that choose this path and make it are the heroes, but there is another path that is also less travelled and that is the one towards becoming a total turd. Lance thinks these two are the same path.
Believe it or not, it is possible to become successful, wealthy, and happy while helping others do the same and making many lifelong friends along the way. This silly "take no prisoners" mentality lost its popularity with Attila the Hun. Lance should have embraced the philosophies of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" instead of "How to Win Through Intimidation".
What a goofball.
