There is indeed a possibility that
Bluewing's sentiments are fed off inferior Feeling. Should we then, turn this entire matter into a question of wheter Bluewing is deluded, rather than wheter Bluewing is correct? - I think that we are doing ourselves a disfavour if we opt to do the former.

Jennifer I'm not questioning your type, but from a Ti perspective your rebuttal seems rather normative. Now that you've made your point about the influence of inferior F on
Bluewing, if we were to look ahead, what would you respond to the actual content of the post?

I can't believe that some think to argue against the OP on the relativistic assumption that "all values are equally good". This is demonstratably false, though I won't go into it here.

Economica: I'm sure Foucault would back you up in saying that what
appears to be logical truth can indeed by heavily influenced by factors unkown to the subject presenting those truths, yes.
Points for bringing up philosophy in a Bluewing thread!

Personally, I think there's a lot to be said for the content of the OP. I have had the same experiences with feelers, and I don't even live on the same continent! Though I do by no means wish to discount all feelers; my partner, and several close friends being Fs. In fact, I very much cherish the competent use of F.

One thing I objectively believe to be true is that it is relatively easy to point out the logical fallacy in malfunctioning T, which in theory should help the T to redeem himself.
(In theory, at least - though we might actually argue that what is getting in the way of the T redeeming himself after being proven logically wrong in practice is actually their inferior F)
Whereas, malfunctioning F is often pretty hard to rectify because little or no logic is really necessary. - Just like the OP describes.

When it all comes down to it, most people actually act as if Thinking is superior to Feeling without even knowing it.
You might ask yourself: How come its ok for a one-sided-feeler to expect a thinker to take account of his feelings, while its not okay for a one-sided thinker to expect a feeler to express himself rationally?
In other words, its okay for feelers only to play their own chord, while thinkers are expected to play two chords.
This implies to me, that Feelers are somehow regarded as less in control of themselves than Thinkers.
