My ears still work!

....and Keith still has a voice, so all that has changed is how I hear that voice. There are many venues he can adapt to to be heard. I don't always agree with KO, but I don't agree with anyone 100% of the time. I will find his voice where ever it lands.

Keith sometimes pushed the envelope when criticizing his bosses, but that's who/what he is. They can pull the plug on Keith, but they'll find he doesn't run on electricity, and it will do nothing to silence him.

1. Maybe. We don't know how his contract was settled

there may be binding agreements that will preclude him from sharing his thoughts for the next 2 years (which is the period that resulted in $14 million in buy-out).

2. "preclude him from sharing his thoughts for the next 2 years"?

Uh, are we talking about the same KO? I would bet he is smarter than that. He wanted to leave, but I would bet he did it on his terms, not theirs. I don't think the money influences his decisions. He is a smart man and has been in the game a while.

3. It would depend on the contract.

and the wording.

Contractual agreements can have long lives.
