Robert, anyone who posts here about anything--no matter how much research they've done, no matter what the level of their expertise--opens himself up to contrary opinions. You may think the Flues guns are the greatest in the world; others will have different opinions, maybe based on having seen them, more likely not. But so what? Some people think Model 21's are God's gift to the shotgun world. Or LC Smiths. And you will also find detractors. If you're going to post on the Net, you have to develop a thick skin. That's a simple fact of life. I'm one of very few outdoor writers that posts much. The others avoid the Net because they don't want to take the heat--justified or not--that can come with it. Me . . . I don't care. Much of what is posted is only opinion anyhow, and everyone is entitled to his own. Personally, I've learned a lot from these websites; have used material from them in articles I've written. Stick around long enough and you learn which people are worth paying attention to and which are the pot stirring trolls, with nothing to contribute.
You have interesting material to post, and it looks to me as if you have more than enough on Mr. Flues for an article (or perhaps two or three) on the subject in Double Gun Journal. That's one way to get paid for your efforts--and to take less heat from the Peanut Gallery.
