I added a few more choice adjectives above.
And hey, maybe we're all so conditioned to accept any compliment a back-handed one will do.
I love how you ignore every legitimate point I've made and focus on trying to wage an emotional war with me, trying to push all my buttons.
Answer the questions. Troll.
1) I'm at a loss as to why you think I have any responsibility to use equally powerful terminology in my criticisms and in my compliments. I happen to enjoy hyperbolic language, and it's a very common INFP mistake to assume proportional hyperbolic emotional motivation. Just because
you would have to be in a very emotional state to use such language doesn't mean others are.
2) Pay attention to context. I wasn't saying he's reasonable DESPITE being an Fi dom; read uDog's post that I initially responded to. He said:
I've always wondered how chunks of the forum could gain such ridiculous perceptions of INFPs.
Now I know.
See this? He's actually
openly admitting that some INFPs give off strange enough vibes to give people ridiculous perceptions of the whole type.
Now look at
my response, except in context this time. I was providing an example to support this statement:
INFPs, like every type, run the gamut from balanced and insightful to paranoid and bat shit crazy. The crazy ones just tend to go really far off the deep end with their anti-typology rants.
See where I equated INFPs with every other type by saying "LIKE EVERY TYPE" and stated explicitly that there are very reasonable INFPs as well as crazy ones? I was providing an example of the former by complimenting uDog and making a deliberate effort to highlight the good side of the INFP type.
To summarize:
uDog: "Wow, I can see why some people get such a bad impression of INFPs."
sim: "Yeah, but a lot of INFPs are perfectly reasonable, like you, for instance."
And yet you still found a way to twist this into an insult. I didn't mean it as an insult and the recipient didn't take it as one. Get over it already.
And double hey, I am heading to bed now for real. So leave any extra thoughts sim and we can pick it up tomorrow if you want.
And see if you can do it without hysterical language, hmmm?
Playing with language is fun, and I have no intention of compromising my choice of linguistic style in order to tiptoe around your feelings. It's an Ne thing, see? I like to play with patterns and come up with colorful combinations of wordings. And it's no coincidence that "OMG I CAN TELL U R VERY DEEPLY UPSET RIGHT NOW"
always comes from INFPs.
I also enjoy arguing because it's a competitive game, which I'm very big on. I don't do it to express deeply suppressed emotional trauma; I do it to pass the time because it's fun. Try and wrap your Fi-riddled little head around that one, will ya?
