Gawd yes....
Never. I am a stubborn old cow.
Nope! No one could ever convince me that Bea was an unpleasant person 
Sometimes - In as much as, if someone posts something I've missed it'll make me look at a HM more closely or in a different light and that might, or might not, lead to me changing my mind.
Moderate my opinion slightly, maybe, but not change it!
I have sometimes chosen my favourite housemate or X Factor contestant, etc, based on who has the coolest fans.

Yeah I'm similar. I wouldn't change my opinion just because...but if I'm presented with evidence that someone is a gitbag then yeah I would.I liked Luke for the 1st week but hadn't seen a lot of live feed, when I saw some of the things he'd said/done it made me look out for it and lo and behold...everyone was right.
Too often to mention 
Nope
sometimes
No. I have never changed my opinion about a housemate as a result of what others have written.
But I have been influenced to admire a poster's loyalty to, and defence of, a particular housemate.
For instance in spite of some strong stuff said about Josie, Blizzie maintained her support and managed to defend Josie without starting a war with other posters. I have admired that.
During the last series Cold Sweat did pretty much the same when supporting Sophie.
So I have admired and respected support for housemates I don't like because the poster did it with skill. But I've never changed my mind about a housemate.

no
Interesting replies, I was wondering whether any of the zillions of posts ever actually have any impact
Seemingly they do for some. Certainly there are times when I have changed / moderated my opinion when someone has seen something in a different way and I think ooo that's an interesting way of looking at it, I never thought of that.... And I learn things on here every day, yesterday it was daisy chains

No and when they're being torn to shreds here it makes me like them more.

I agree with that, especially about learning things. I've learnt so much from the forums due to convos the HMs have sparked.
I just wait for everyone else to come around to my point of view. Sometimes for eternity
