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.

This thread would make a nice feature article about science for the National Enquirer.  Inquiring minds want to know. 
thyname,

"...he got into an argument with me simply because I mentioned a reasonably priced..."
Why on Earth did you get into that argument? Why just not ignore him, if he is that bad?

"Yes Ethan, it’s me. I am so scared right now 😂"
Why different name? Isn't that what this Ethan man was accused of doing a few posts above?
"Inquiring minds want to know."
It does not seem that inquiring minds want to know.

It seems to me that minds already know everything they want to know and any other knowledge is not knowledge at all.
Why different name? Isn’t that what this Ethan man was accused of doing a few posts above?
What are you talking about? It was a Facebook group. On Facebook, I have my full name. It’s Facebook. On forums, like here, I use a handle. Just like you. What part of this is so mysterious for you?

Do you use “glupson” as your name in your Facebook account?
