There are two ways to have the tallest building in town. The first is to build the tallest building. The second is to tear down all the buildings that are taller than yours. Obviously first method is about creating value while the second is about trying to reduce the value produced by the efforts of someone that actually did the work in the first place. Aside from the lack of ethics or any real skill, the type of people that engage in the second method rarely succeed because they waste all their time and energy trying to put their competitors down instead of creating anything of value.
No matter how you look at it, this approach will always put you in a worse position than where you started.
