Sedgie writes (to RHaj) - Fortunately, those comments are but a 'personal' opinion on the subject of personal opinions. Thus, by your own admission, they shouldn't carry any real weight.I think he’s got you there, counselor. Say, what’s with your burgeoning Gerry Rafferty fetish? The most interesting thing about the guy was a sax riff played by a session musician. What is the difference, in your opinion, between being informed and having an opinion? Those two words need each other, like Lennon and McCartney. That’s why the expression “an informed opinion” caught on. Would it be fair to say that all opinions are entitled to equal expression? Surely, if nothing else, the expression of some opinions is incredibly entertaining. Exhibit #1: Puddin’ face. That thread was seriously entertaining. The guy treats acquaintances in cyberspace like parents who has disappointed him. By the way, I’ve always thought your opinion on Bayesian statistics was worth paying attention to. You wrote: Ah, yes -- the "everyone's different" rubric that infests "Support" fora.The language of exception and exemption is alive-and-well on support. There's really nothing surprising about it. It is a pretty human reaction. Not a very helpful one, but human.

Dave writes –Their knowledge of what actually exists beyond what they are able to hear through their own practice, as well as the wide variety of topics that are generated from those who have this condition, seems like terribly bad academic/psychological preparation.An ENT can do something about tinnitus when it is associated with certain medical conditions. That an ENT hasn’t done that for you simply means you don’t have a medical condition that explains the presence of your tinnitus. … but I would hope that they would be as much informed as the reasonably well read and experienced sufferer.That would be nice, Dave, but it isn’t the real world. Folks with tinnitus have options, places to go to learn the basics. rob x 2 (believer in the one true faith)
