Well maybe I misread your posts?  I see no reason for any posters to brag.. and even for posters to come out with guns ablazing in a quasi-anonymous forum.  

When  posters make extreme claims, then other posters are going to get irritated.  I thought that some of your postings were extreme and attempts at being insulting.

I would rather share actual information and real predictions rather than posturing(s), but maybe that's just me?  

Ultimately, it is up to you whether you prefer to engage in an adult dialogue, even if or when other people are throwing around derogatory comments.
