Why does the legendary "S Type" draw so much fire? Well because it is the venting dummy for all those intuitive type who have to put up with day after day of being force fed the sensor made framework which is so common in society.

Is this fair to the individual? Of course not.
Is restraining the response to the point of banning it? Also and equally no.

Of course the best solution is to realise that it's not the type that is the source of the irritation but the behaviour (however that does step away from MBTI which would seem to be contra to the concept of this board), or to realise that you may be typed as XXXX but you are not THE type XXXX.

I do think that some are discouraged from posting on here and that this limits the possible "catchment" of posters but I also think that this is inevitable. Hell I'm discouraged from posting on many occasions and I'm an N. It's all to do with what people discuss, what is encouraged and what is discouraged. If people see "we don't like Ss" and walk away then they probably wouldn't be of benefit to this forum anyway. If they see their own behaviour being targeted then that's more personal but someone slating their type without singling out the behaviour and making it personal should be taken more as misunderstanding (okay perhaps that's an N approach and not an S approach but really how many unbalanced people do you want on a forum?).

Basically it's something which is unavoidable. You have differing sides and are focused on a theory which allows a person to label certain behaviours (correctly or otherwise) with precision. As we have all (AFAIK) undertaken the test to find out which insults apply to us we're all signing up for a certain level of abuse. That's the bottom line.
