If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Not 2000. We retired in late 2006, just in time to walk into the 2008/2009 bear market.
Ended 2008 down -47%.

That had to gut-wrenching. It was for us, and I was working.
Though looking back, I could actually have retired in 2007 and we would have been ok. Not sure I would have stayed retired in 2008.

It's a good life if you don't weaken.

Indeed.
