Citrus peel in compost

I read occasionally in this forum references that say to not put citrus peels in a compost pile. Is there a reason for this? Because I have been doing it for years with no bad effect I can see. Maybe an old wives tale?

I would think that citrus peels would be a great addition to a compost pile,.

I add citrus peels to my compost and have not noticed any adverse effects.

I put citrus peels in my regular compost all the time, but I DON'T use them for vermicomposting.

I have a friend that uses only citrus for worms to train them. He says they do fine. I think they're fine when they're molded.
