Lol. When I research (either writing in, or just reading) message boards, I turn off all emotions, or at least try to, and just try to absorb as much as possible. All people's answers even the wrong ones get added to a mental database for me to sift through. Even though they may be facts or opinions, it's still more data for me to consider. Everything helps in my opinion.
I also purposely come off less experienced than I am, in hopes of eliciting more conversation and more data. I dont know why I do it; maybe it's because I fear that people will withhold what they honestly feel? Not sure, but all opinions even the unpopular ones are always welcome. I'm an obsessive data collector and I love learning new things. If I didn't ever receive odd statements or opinions I feel I wouldnt be getting the whole picture.
There are quite a number of, shall we say super confident type A personalities on here, that have very 'opinionated opinions' lol, and I take all of them too. None of it bothers me. How they feel is how they feel, and they're entitled to it. For me, the more the better.
