Yes it should be discussed on how bad it is, so the person can make a informed derision to run it, not just run it because IB says it's the leading software.

Er, no one is saying not to buy it?

Again, never said it shouldn't be discussed. Just the manner in which it currently gets brought up, I think, isn't the most helpful. Maybe the expression I'm looking for is, heavy handed.

But, of course people might say that, especially if they're interested in assigning sinister intentions. I know you weren't. People might also think that, based on not reading for context, or their not understanding the difference between the words 'ignorant' and 'stupid.'

I can't control either reaction, and don't try to. But I WILL defend myself when accused of calling people stupid, etc. etc.

From a single post, I wouldn't even mention it. Not even a few posts. Possibly not even notice it. Intent is difficult to convey. (And I'm certainly not singling you out.) I'm just referring to the preponderance of posts on the subject, in just the last few days. As a community, I think it's something we should at least think about. Ultimately, you (plural) may decide it's not really an issue. But I feel it's worth mentioning, before it comes to a head.
