What I mean by PC is issue avoidance, and/or marginalization of genuine feeling for the sake of some other agenda (call it being "fair", but "fair" is difficult to define).

It is not a straw man, but the heart of the issue. Perhaps, there is some history, from INTPc, or Intuitive central, that I am unaware of, but this forum does wreak of "issue avoidance" (I won't use PC since you don't like that term).

I think if we want this forum to yield discussion, we can't be afraid of issues, that have a potential of getting people riled up. We cannot go around sweeping peoples emotions under the rug (whether they are N or S).

Let S's rant about N's and make things clear to the N's. We will learn a lot. Let N's do the same. Even experiences that are weird, or based on false assumptions are real.
