Sir.. I fully agree with this!
Don't kill the messenger!

To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, here's a link to a thread that I was very fortunate to discover:
http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/how-to-become-a-gm-by-zod?page=1
The author makes some controversial assertions about his chess strength (I let you be the judge). Yet, in the meantime, he shares some interesting ideas - both philosophical and practical. Personally, I have found the thread helpful and amusing at the same time.
However, contrary to many who try to ridicule the author, I actually thank him for not being afraid of sharing his thoughts. And some thoughts are great indeed, no kidding!
Even though some post(s) may be ridiculous, I don't think it's good to point those thing out to the author(s) who may actually be motivated by helping people. So I think concentrating on the message, rather than the messenger, might be the better attitude. If there's something positive one can learn - good. If not, why bother offending people?
