Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?

As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned?    They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own.  So why such hate?  As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases.  But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

Horns are available at very low prices look at craigs or ebay consider pro audio or vintage etc I can put together a good horn system off craigs or ebay on any day for under 1k.

I believed then, and now, that those trolls that come on here ( and other forums for that matter ) and try to ruin the party, are lacking, in some way, their manhood. There is just no other explanation. I believe these forums are to exchange insight, opinions and experiences, giving recommendations, and often, promoting a new piece of gear, or type of gear. But the bashing, does not make sense, other than my thoughts that there is " no other explanation ".
