I think, to be honest, the words used to describe sx/so in that initial post isn't very flattering to them - although it isn't really flattering to any contra-flow type except maybe so/sp. But I think what those words are implying is that, sx/so is a generally high energy type in the first place so it does cause a lot of social rupturing and, for lack of a better word, reactivity. In the midst of that eruption sx/so will find the people worth keeping and connecting to. Think back to our exchange about the "mom" thing. Theoretically so/sx may have been a little more playful with the nicknames/name-calling while sx/so was more inclined to challenge (challenging is also a word in that list I think) that and that act of confronting could potentially scare away the people not worth connecting with or the people you don't have the right chemistry with. That's my take on it anyway.
Even if that were the case, sx-sp is worse at this. They'll do this blunt-hammering. At least I smoothe it over with some charm either before, after or during. Again, I can see it vs So-Sx, for sure. I feel that me and [MENTION=10496]skylights[/MENTION] have that difference (plus the 6 vs 4 thing, I'm sure). But I honest to god find it appalling to be labeled this way:
'Excluding, eliminating, dividing, separating, contradicting, subverting, confronting, rebuffing, ridiculing, challenging, interrupting, reforming, rupturing.' - with perhaps the exception of 'reforming' and maybe 'challenging'.
It's...just completely contrary to just about *everything* I stand for: harmony, coming together, building bridges, anti-bullying, you name it.
If that is truly how I come across, someone clue me in and get me a brainwashing machine coz I don't want to be that person
