Here is a sampling of the tweets between Dave Ramsey and advisers.

@behaviorgap Dave Ramsey’s “followers’ swear by his budgeting and debt education. I despise his investment advice though.” — Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC

@behaviorgap @CarolynMcC Ramsey’s advice would be malpractice if he was a real professional.” — James Osborne @BasonAsset

@ScottTruhlar @BasonAsset @behaviorgap @CarolynMcC I help more people in 10 min. than all of you combined in your ENTIRE lives #stophating.” — Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey

@MichaelKitces wait! @DaveRamsey is the humblest guy he knows … just ask him. @ScottTruhlar @BasonAsset @CarolynMcC.” — Carl Richards @behaviorgap

The snobbery of some of the “Financial Pros’ in not helping regular people is sickening. #ignorant #ineffective.” — Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey

“@DaveRamsey I’ve advocated to planners that we can learn from you & @SuzeOrmanShow (bit.ly/UyF40Q) but wow that was embarrassing.” — Michael Kitces @MichaelKitces

“@DaveRamsey You used to be a role model of mine until you lashed out at @CarolynMcC. Guess you have to change your hero at some point.” — Dave Grant @davegrant82

“@davegrant82 //Why? She has attacked me continually. I just responded. Don’t want to get bit by the big dog, stay off the porch.” — Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey

“Wow, I’m simply amazed. Grateful I don’t fear “Big Dogs’ and I’m sad at your need to lash out. @DaveRamsey cc: @behaviorgap @MichaelKitces” — Carolyn McClanahan @CarolynMcC

“To clarify: There are SOME great people in the financial world to help you. Be sure they have the heart of a teacher, not arrogant or elitist.” — Dave Ramsey @DaveRamsey

“Imagine how much more good @DaveRamsey would do if he added reasonable investment advice to the debt/savings advice he already provides!” — Carl Richards @behaviorgap
