Just because someone doesn't know what a word means doesn't make them an idiot, it makes them ignorant. And by the way, they weren't talking about Latin prefixes, they were talking about the scientific terms anions, cations, dianion, and radical ions, which can be positively or negatively charged.

Named such after the Latin ending.

And? The post isn't comparing Latin prefixes to different kinds of ions to the word opinion, just the similarities between different kinds of ions being positive and negative just like opinions.
