FOXY - I don't think the top DD posters and opinion leaders mind being criticized or even attacked at all in fact it is quite a normal occurrence on these boards and forums.....rather it may be the Long time investors willingness to stand on the sidelines and stay silent while wave after wave of the bad guys pile on without a response that is truly disappointing and perhaps even a little tiring for them.

In the past (old SH days) we would chime in and ram unacceptable comments back down the bashers throats with facts...but many of us found it unproductive since it was cluttering the conversation and aknowledging their existence. When we all slowly started making our way to this board, we realized that measures were in place to weed out individuals with little integrity. I know I rarely ever post now and many of you will remember me from the past 2 years...I just feel the current DD is so strong and proven - thanks Web, Vette, Chappy, General, lletea, Mes...I could go on - that anything I could possibly add at this time would be rediculously redundant. Believe me when I say many of us want to step in with support everytime something negative is said, but I do not want to add to the trash talk and revert back to the "old days".

GLTA and happy investing!
