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.

Rule no. 1 Never get involved in a thread about science with English majors and retired car salesmen. 
This Ethan person undoubtedly has a very powerful personality.


He does not have a very powerful personality.

What he has is akin to intractable psychosis, which he forces on everyone else. The man has serious issues.

I’ve dealt with him before, back on another forum, and the best thing that can be done with him is to get rid of him, for the good of all.

Otherwise it’s just problem, after problem, after problem, ad nauseam.
Ethan is a nasty little old man. And dangerous. One time in a Facebook group, he got into an argument with me simply because I mentioned a reasonably priced Schiit DAC (of course, all DACs sound the same to him, he has graphs to “prove” it). Then he pointed out his 4,000 Facebook followers, proceeding to “subtly” ask me where my house is 🤭😬
