An emotionalist is the one who is excited by the volume or the quantity rather than the substance or purpose of an issue. For example, a person who attends a spiritual/religious seminary and marvels at the turn out and is excited about the grandeur of the attendees and the arrangements at the seminary rather than reasoning out the purpose of the seminary and the outcome, i.e. whether anybody has learned anything from it or not can be called an emotionlaist!
