Good post on a few points ...

Separating Fact from Opinion: A good idea at any time.
Waiting for Fact before forming an opinion: Hard, but necessary.
Keeping the opinion, once formed, to oneself: Really hard. Kudos to those who do.

As for writing CNBC, another good point. Don't waste time and energy over things that are beyond your ability to change, but if there is something to be DONE about it, DO it, and then shut up. Don't bitch at the guy out front. Spew your venom at the decision makers, not those trying their best to carry out instructions received from above.

And one point you left out: Try to be polite. To conduct yourself with some dignity when you're feeling upset is difficult, but worthwhile.

Cheers, PW.
