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.

Your post suggests there is anyone "harmed". Would you care to address how anyone has been harmed and what specific actions have harmed them.

I don’t have to act as the harmed one, I am just the latest in a long string I expect of people who have been dog-piled. No worries though. Nothing you say changes the veracity of what I write and nothing, nothing I say will speak as loudly as the silence ... the silence of addressing what I say, and now who is saying it.

That silence - which you acknowledge speaks more loudly than your wordy screeds - reflects the nature of your vacuous renderings.
to the op,

these subjects and subject areas have been covered a hundred times over.

what you are, is just the next one to come along and try to raise them like a sword of justice ...one built out of your own limited understandings of the entire envelope of what is involved... in the area under discussion. 

You don't know the subject, and your data and your knowledge is severely lopsided.
If I am tearing anything down, then it was teetering already.
Maybe bordering on quixotic, or even messianic.
My advice: don't go there. 👍

All the best,

@atdavid  Are you going through a loss of career or something similarly significant?

Since you started a thread on the '5 Stages' [Of Grief and Loss] should I be reading (deeper) into that?

I'm certain I do not have the technical abilities you have in specific areas...reversing this, you also do not have abilities in areas that I and most certainly others have. 

My suggestion is for far softer landings and less engagement. We will all benefit. I look forward to your reasoned and measured contributions.  Thank you.
