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.

So... who are you @atdavid? What is your real Facebook name? Or at least, can you share your handle on ASR forums? I can clearly tell you are not Ethan, but I am pretty sure you are one of the other Masters
thyname,

We are all getting old at the same rate. According to stories that people write here, I got an impression I am trailing a little behind most.

It seems to me that, once people get really old, they start obsessing over unimportant things. Like minutia of reproduction of fake sounds or snatching the seat in public transportation.
Obviously. But which one is the question. The main honcho, or someone who just copy/ paste them?

I am pretty sure if I spent a day or two on those forums, I would have enough material to copy / paste their shit (likely also copy / paste from someone else), and spread it around all Internet audio groups. That’s what these guys do. Meet one of them in person, and you will see. I have. And they can barely put a few words together.
OP- " Instead of reflecting on how many posts I have made in 9 days, perhaps reflect on who comes to this particular thread (and my 5 stages one). While some came in, made a comment and left, the usual suspects, the real prolific posters with many many thousands of posts, who pshaw the very notion of these two threads, are the ones repeatedly posting in them. Why are a few paragraphs of text so threatening?"

- Way too many words, in such a short time, that mean less to the masses than to the author. Nobody has left, just watching the train wreck, can't look away ...
