If you indeed believe that you have found a solution, and have good evidence for it, you should not be too upset about premature dismissal of your announcement. If the solution is indeed correct, it will be eventually recognized as such. If it is wrong, you will be glad that no one paid attention to it.
Some VMS "researchers" apparently do not really believe their proposals, because they do not expect to actually solve the riddle. For them, it is enough that their solution is original and sounds plausible enough to provide the benefits of a true discovery -- media interviews, tube views, book sales, whatever. They of course care about prompt acceptance by "the masses": is the whole point of the game.
