The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

Based on the responses so far, I think one can postulate that for some, they consider the people here their peers ...

nonoise5,071 posts11-05-2019 11:15amI would think a poster here would be less inclined to be a sheeple than if they were in an actual setting of peers.

Re the op and the subject matter chosen my him:

The ass hat tries to subtly game the forum, again.

and he will do it again, in the next post or when he tries to start another thread.

see it for what it is.

Agreed. But, in an actual face to face setting, peer pressure is of a much higher import than online.

Re the OP:

He's not doing these sorts of threads because he cares about audio or high end audio or the people who desire quality audio in their lives.

Hes trying to crash it, he's trying to tear it down, he's trying to force it to follow HIS dogma. Every post he makes screams this point, either openly, or subtly.

See it for what it is.
