Supposedly, he can be a bit of a dick to the people who work for him.

This is from an exchange between him and former employee Dan Fraga on his message board:

Fraga: Point#2. Your recollection is wrong. The way it went down was that I used that inker's desk, and left a spot of ink on his desk, he was upset because he had asked me to clean up after myself. I missed that spot. He then went into my office and poured and smeared ink on my desk and carpet. I wrote him a very nasty note which you intercepted. You told me that I couldn't go writing letters like that to your inker in your studio. I talked back, and you backhanded me in front of my 12 year old brother and the receptionist. That's where you went from being my hero to just another guy. You lost control like this twice. I also remember a similar altercation during the Extreme tour '95 in Tampa. And it's misleading to say "things got physical between us" That implies that I ever hit you or fought back. No, it was only you hitting me, only you choking me.

And Liefeld's response: Dan, that's up to you to man up and defend yourself. You were a man, not a child. You acted like a punk and I popped you. The other witnesses on the Extreme Tour distinctly remember me smacking you against the bathroom wall. There's no choking but it now lives much bigger as a myth in your head than mine. And that is when you went from being someone I relied on to someone I believed I would have to carry the duration of his time at Extreme. Glad we cleared that up.

Wow, he just becomes a bigger [worst word in the English language, starts with a c] everytime I hear about him. What the hell is he still doing in any buisness more complicated than swabbing floors?

Cuhhhh-ripes! Jeebus, he sounds like he could be a nightmare to work with.
