Can you quote it here? Because I "do not have permission to view" on the INTJ board
Oops. It didn't occur to me that that post is in a blog thread.

I have mixed feelings on the subject of PMs. The main issue is that I came to INTJf to participate in the public discussions and not to round up long-distance pen pals. Rightly or wrongly, and in somewhat typical INTJ fashion, I'm already in a position where I tend to neglect the friends/acquaintances I have, and I'm not really looking to expand my guilt list.
In some of the official (or semi-official) posts explaining the comment-on-post system, one of the stated advantages is that there's no "pressure to respond." Exactly.
Plus I really enjoy the opportunity a public forum provides to "listen in" on everyone else's discussions. I get the feeling that, because of the PM system, some detailed discussions that would potentially be of interest to others get hidden away -- and not always because they include anything confidential.
I haven't necessarily ruled out ever changing my PM policy, but for now that's where I am.
