It's one thing to be free and self assured, we all want that, it's something else entirely to be less than humble. Let's face it, to be as successful as Mark Cuban, you would assume somewhere along the line you have to crush a little guy, back out of a bad agreement, lie, cheat and/or steal. Society seeks a balance, for one to rise so high, another must hit rock bottom.You're right, MOST people who get pissed when someone is successful are PROBABLY jealous, but it's ALSO true that MOST people who boast loudly and often are PROBABLY compensating for some aspect of their life that is less than stellar.

So he wants to come back as a festering boil, that's never acheived anything in his life, and yet has money for selling some over priced website just before the dot com crash? I guess the money is nice, but he's still a douchebag. I'd rather be poor but proud of myself.

That makes Mark a smart guy then. You can apply the same logic to Mark Shuttleworth but you don't since he is not hated on digg. I don't understand why some people hate Mark Cuban so much on digg.
