Help! I've run out of opinions!

**ffking** · 08-20-2018, 01:05 AM

We're still notat 60% of the total posts for the K-1 giveaway with only 11 days to go, and I want to do my bit, but...

I ran out of knowledgeable things to say ages ago

Now I think I've run out of opinions!

I'm reduced to posting and commenting on pictures.

Can anybody help? - where can I get new opinions?

Clearly, you're not opinionated enough!

Nope, sorry - no opinions on the matter - it's worse than I thought!

Thanks - I'll try PMing a few, see if they'll do a deal for a job lot

I might be interested in helping you out

what lenses do you have to trade for the assistance

you may have to send $ as well

delivery to my home would be necessary before any assistance is given of course

I guess we could reopen the politics and religion section of the Forum.

On the other hand, probably not...

If this continues, I'll give it some serious though - at the moment I don't have an opinion either way...

For strong opinions which generate lots of discussion my experience tells me that it's helpful to be stupid or, even better, extremely and wilfully ignorant. If you don't meet either of these requirements then you might have to make do with sensible opinions based on such things as facts (not of the "alternative" variety), evidence and unbiased evaluation of experience.

Opinions are a finite resource - don't waste them!

I always thought that would be fun. But we'd need a BIG disclaimer at the top:

"The part of the forum is completely unmoderated. Except when it is."

Needless to say, I'm probably alone in this view.

You'd have to try a lot harder than that to get the ban hammer.

Do you think that it's an opinion? I rather thought it was a fact. But maybe there's something I can work up, given a grant and the right mentoring
