Ali, Don't worry at all about the criticism, I usually get criticized for being too optimistic. You can't win either way. Constructive criticism is an important part of the discussion and anybody that cannot handle it should rethink the purpose of the boards. Without people that are willing to express concerns we would never have a true picture of investor sentiment. Having said that the board really has to be wary of new posters that appear out of nowhere and either hype or bash in order to mislead.
PS
Judging by the size of the shnoze on Warren Bassett, I would guess he is able to handle a little criticism from time to time. Also looking at the ears and jowls my guess is he has some pretty thick skin as well.
