One often repeated ridiculous comment, in it's entirety, is that N theories are useless. Well, du'h, I find your short, unconstructive, VAGUE, factless, tactless comment useless. Next time you feel the urge to say that, rather specify your concern, if you are so much after that appreciation thing.
Sorry, can't make out what the hell you want. I'm fine with not giving a shit about your pesky troubles, should you fail to co-operate. If you would be looking for some common ground, fine, I'm ok with that too.

Frankly, as only recently self-identifying as N, I still feel a rather combative tone in comments like this (and I don't believe that perception is ever going away).
But as someone who has frequently heard people (In Real Life) deriding "theory" as "useless", I empathize with the some of the poster's sentiment.
Theory is only applicable when applied. Applications can go wrong due to lack of understanding of the theory(I would say this is usually the case in my experience) as well as having a poor theory.
When people mis-understand, mis-apply, an then deride the theory for being poor, I get rather annoyed.
I think it is possible to discuss our differences in reasonable and thoughtful ways without giving up content in our grievances. This, I believe, is the role of logical argument (which can certainly contain emotions as part of the content).
