Wolfe's point of view, that the egoism of one's view is the egoism of the group to which he belongs is, I think, the more interesting question when compared to the more general question posed by the OP. Given that the laws of the antis have made smoking at the B&M and pub a practice past, the forums have become the group. Though there is a group culture, no one opinion rules the selection of either pipes or tobacco, but I would say that many of us have been diligent consumers of the best pipes we could afford and are biased toward tobacco without aromatic additives.
Egoism as the elevation of one's view at the expense of oneself and others, is the sad lot of humanity, especially this poster. There are far too many members of forums to identify the views of egotistic groups, but from time to time I do see such in specific threads.
