ok. explain why we should care about your thoughts as "someone who doesnt know much about these types of things", then?

its a message board. people post their opinions. its how they function.

You don't have to care, and I'm not really sure why you thought I think that.

And yeah, people post their opinions on message boards. He posted his opinion, and I posted what I thought about it. What's the issue exactly? I'm not saying he shouldn't have posted it or something..

If not knowing who somebody is weighs into your consensual model of interactions with them, just wait until you hear about surveillance! :-)

This isn't reddit man, no need for this kind of reply. They were speaking in-context of the article in this post.
