This thread is amusing. I suggest everyone take a minute to look at a dictionary before commenting.
I wonder what my response would be if I said that "Fs" pretend not to think...
Everyone thinks and everyone feels at all times. This should be obvious.
I think the basis of your post is quite different from the conclusion you drew from it.
Complaining that people make emotional appeals is not the same as stating that all arguments are (or aren't) ultimately moral. Moral is not synonymous with emotional.
I think this applies to everybody.

I was reading this thread of 'what do you like about feelers' and one complaint is that there is a tendency to not be logical in arguments, make emotional appeals, or base their decisions on their emotions.
So heres a question: Do you think its possible to actually step away/remove ourselves from 'emotions' when looking at an issue?
This line: "I am being more rational than you" - may be an illusion for your rationality is just a set of learned ways of interacting that appear to lack emotion, HOWEVER! are not all decisions/arguments ultimately moral and emotional ones?
TO put it in a strong way: I think people are fooling themselves if they think in life they are making 'clean' decisions, 'unemotional' arguments, or undertaking entire 'rational' courses of action.

To emphasize the difference, Feelers may find their emotions and values at odds at times.
