Kohler interviewed Maine and Dyer after JB resignation, page-51

Hi all- I've been following the discussion for a while. Thanks for everyone's insightful contributions. In GM's defence- based on what we know about the late night text to both wife & JB: think of the context. GM just rescued his position from JB. He said he was "reaching out" - which I think is honourable. It was a text, not a phone call. Of course, with texting, the recipient has the right to reply or ignore at their leisure. A managing director has nothing to gain by harassing an ex-director's wife late in the night! And if there's a risk that the ex-director is about to sell their shareholding, it's easy to understand why any managing director would be reaching out before the next trading day. If midnight was the first opportunity, then to my mind, that's a sign of a busy managing director. I'm very sorry to lose JB from the board, but from the interview, it would appear he brought it all on himself. When defeated, he used whatever ammunition he had against GM. A late night text to both husband & wife is no horrendous saucy scandal. IMO
