Siegfried, it is of course your right to ignore posters. But unless someone is being a jerk, what's the point? You don't have to believe what they post if you don't want to. Heck, you don't have to read it if you so choose. But often a contrary opinion is right, and the one you want to believe is wrong. I don't see how it can hurt to hear a different view. If you can argue against it, then that reinforces your belief in your investment. If you have trouble refuting it, perhaps a look at the point being made is worth a consideration. Either way, if you're confident in your chosen investment, somebody speaking against it, or about a specific aspect of it, should not be viewed as a negative. It generates discussion, and posts from either viewpoint should be welcomed.
