I think what puts off some people is the repeated posts in multiple threads about how smart you are and how you can disprove something get tiresome after a while.
The information given is actual good info, useful, and even helpful. You just need to let people decide for themselves whether they want to acknowledge and use it.
Its ok to make a point but to constantly pound into the ground your right and someone else is wrong just eventually pisses people off.
So, regardless of who is right and who is wrong, make your point and let it go. If people want to spend their money on something that others think is a waste it does no good to go into all of the threads telling them they are stupid (maybe not directly but indirectly).

In THIS case I had numerous people chiming in that HAD NOT READ the rest of the thread and were making the same (wrong) claims again & again.
And at least where I work, you can have a room full of engineers all making their own points and apparently yelling at each other and
none of them get offended.
It is just the way Engineer's brains work.
If I say something wrong at work, and my co-worker calls "Bullshit" we dont get pissed at each other, we figure out where the error is.
"Normal" people cannot handle being asked questions if they dont know the answer. They get defensive (and pissy)
REAL engineers know how to NOT get offended if they dont know the answer and just say "I dont know, but I'll go do some research and get back to you"
