I seem to remember a post (or posts) more than a year ago where Gary Hall Sr. gave some swimming advice, which was more than likely very sound guidance. Rather than listening or taking the post into consideration, several of the first responses were attacks to his credibility and advice. I don't remember his entire CV beyond the obvious, but it is safe to say Gary Hall Sr. knows what he is talking about, yet the attacks came anyway. Unfortunately, the same type of things happened to Jack's posts, Andrew Coggan's posts, etc.
I think it was only one person that just asked what his qualifications were with regards to swimming, to which Gary Hall Sr, as modestly as he could, listed off his Olympic results and the medals of people he coached to the olympics. It was truly entertaining, but there were really no attacks just one person that probably should have simply used google before they asked a question.
