This is definitely a tricky issue and I can see the perspective from both sides. It's a bit discouraging to see this happening on Steemit and I hope a civil middle ground can be met.
Timing is one of the toughest aspects in trading, if not the toughest. Elliot wave does not predict time, so it could take a long period of time for the wave to play out. Because of this, one should be very cautious when entering a position and have a plan of all scenarios of price action.
