Go take a quaalude and perhaps a brisk walk outside, have a cigarette or two, calm the hell down, and then come back and read this. I don't think you're going to catch on to the grander discussion until you lose the attitude, to be perfectly honest.
I only know what you tell people by reading what you type - I cannot know what you intend to tell someone unless you express yourself in an understandable way.

No shit sherlock. That's why I
didn't use the phrase 'sell short' or 'short sell'. Again, short = to go short = sell. Got it yet? Fuck me.
*Sigh* no, actually, to short (as a verb, the way
you used it) does
not = to sell. I thought we went over this already. They're not the same thing. They are different. Not equal. Unequal. Doubleplusunsame.
>>>>>I hope that makes it clearer for you. I can link you to the motley fool if you'd like,
Motley Fool? Fuck off! Stopped reading that 'for the masses' shit in the frigging nineties, motley fucking fool?! JESUS.
Stop right here if you understand that "to short" a stock is not the same thing as selling it. Thanks for taking the time to be unemotional about this. You may have unintentionally made a mistake, and now you're recanted. You've got it, congratulations. Let's move on.

OK, then. If you still need the basics explained in easy-to-digest nuggets, this should be about as easy as it gets - it was written JUST for folks like you who use words they shouldn't use. At least one person already caught on to the subtle hint I gave you when I mentioned the motley fool... all you did was get even more pissy about it all. I mean, if you had intended (there's that word intent again... something I'm still not sure about in your case, since you still haven't explained away your improper use of the word "short" yet) to say that you wished shareholders would sell, but you accidentally used the word "short", then that's one thing. But you've doubled down twice now, insisting that you know what you're talking about... so I have to assume you are exactly the right audience for this article:
Here you go.
