I think everyone is keen to hear from all sides, but it can be done in a respectful and educational manner.

The personal attack may have been a little over-the-top, but based on that poster's recent comments, they don't seem entirely off the mark either... The posts have come off as wide-eyed naivety, and honestly, simplistically incorrect, demonstrating a clear lack of understanding of corporate and investment functions.
Political discourse has been equally hampered by giving people that don't have a clue what they're talking about a louder and louder megaphone. It's not about differing opinions - which are fine and important - it's about being wrong and insisting on screaming it from the rooftops as if they're right (or at least based on reality).
