whats so bad about monero? its just another anonymous coin. why bash it?.. i haven't looked into it much but aren't there like a bunch of them now? cloakcoin / darkcoin / zerocoin / etc 
People are just scared that something out there might actually be worth something and they can't pump and dump it. Either that, or they already shunned it once and don't want their pitiful egos to be hurt when they realize it actually is an amazing cryptocurrency and buy in higher than they could have.
So Monero fans made this thread? Do you even realize the amount of trolling that is against Monero? I am truly not as prideful as you paint me to be, and I hardly get involved with crypto politics because I think it's dumb to mud sling on a message board. However, I do believe Monero is an amazing piece of technology and I am not afraid to say it. Would you rather someone who believes in something to hide and not say a word about it? Fans help spread awareness, especially if it is something they believe in. I believe in Monero, as a technology, and a possibility of being one of the most useful currencies the world has seen, much like Bitcoin. So excuse me if I come into threads where the main purpose it to start a fight and defend what I believe in, because from where I'm standing, it looks like you are the troll here.
