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.

Hmm. I think you are missing some history, but perhaps this forum has gotten its sea legs now and we can leave that history behind. In the beginning we were very vigilant about keeping typism to a minimum, because we needed to attract a unique presence to the forum so it wouldn't just be INTPCentral Junior. We especially discouraged S-bashing, because we wanted this to be an all-types community and since it grew out of INTPCentral it was nearly all Ns. How would we get more sensors to post here if it looked like an intuitive treehouse with a NO SENSERS ALOWD YUCKY GROSS sign on the door? Disparaging comments about sensors did cause a few of our early recruits to jump ship, I think.
Now, we're starting to get a good snowball going. You're right that we need to get a dialogue going- eventually. Maybe now's the time. Maybe not. I'm not sure, myself.
