I dislike the fact that Bitcoin fans have commandeered the term "FUD". The term originally referred to coming out of Microsoft, but you are using it to refer to well-intentioned people saying things that are true.

It's the same as what happened to the term "fake news."

Bitcoin has some very serious problems. We all know what they are. If you keep pretending they don't exist, you only hurt your own credibility.

Yeah, and I'm closed minded for refusing to try crystal healing.

Open-mindedness is a virtue only if it helps you find the truth. Often it is more useful to judiciously discard ideas which have been debunked.
