Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual’s overall sentiment.
The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual’s average comment sentiment.
The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual’s consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

EBay cancels auctions on sale of free tickets to Joe Paterno's memorial service

rwatson1624 — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:35:28 +0000

You there are countless money hungry people in this world but here in the US we have to be the Greedy of Greed. After Penn State announced that due to the over pouring of people wanting to attend the memorial service of late great Penn State coach Joe Paterno , in the arena that holds 16000 plus people. They had to release tickets to the free event , and go figure what happened to the tickets to the event scheduled for Thursday, Several sellers on Ebay had to get greedy, instead of trying to put them on Craigslist. Various Penn State Alum also being avid Ebay buyers and sellers noticed sets of tickets to the event. If you have ever listed something on ebay thats not supposed to be on there or its too questionable they remove it, but it takes a few hours. There were sellers who admitted why they were doing it and others chose not to say the reason why they were trying to sell free tickets to a great event. Penn State Alum drove the prices up on some of the sets to 80 and 100,000 to help speed up ebay to remove them. I see it as this its on thing to try to make a couple bucks after someone dies, but to try and make money to pay your bills, or put your kids thru college, is greed to the highest. the people who tried to sell the tickets shouldnt be able to sell anything on ebay ever again, and be charged for all the fees they incurred . Plus on the brighter side they need to pray for forgiveness for this sin
