Your response to Hessenwolf is great, and it's clear you know what you are talking about. I happily voted it up. But your reply to 6sigma is indeed uncivil, and I did my part to downvote it into oblivion. Since you apparently didn't intend to offend, I'll try to explain why people (me included) are having a negative reaction to it.
Starting off with "Hint" is condescending. Don't do it unless you intend to condescend, as this is uncivil. 6sigma offered a fact, qualified with "For what it's worth". You read a specific meaning into that fact, and are attacking him for the meaning that you have chosen to assign to his statement. This is impolite. Ask for clarification before assuming intent. And try to avoid insults like "worst kind of shallow, ignorant investor".
But please stick around and offer more solid comments like the one to Hessenwolf!
