OK, I see what you mean now. The first time I read it, I could see how it related to my tertiary Fe, but I didn't understand the connection to tert Fi so wasn't sure what you were referring to, but now I see it. Wow, you may have even been slightly self-deprecating there. <*impressed*>
OK, I understand your position, and I'm pretty sure most others "got it".
What I'm trying to point out is that sometimes people state their opinion in a way that sounds like a "truth claim" to you, and without a disclaimer. And sometimes they argue as if their opinion is "truth", but only as a way to promote discussion for learning.
I actually feel you here, and I noticed this caveat in my previous response, so I'm glad you brought it up.
The thing is, many people come here looking for answers, they come here looking for truth.
In my opinion (and feel free to disagree with me, but I'm gunna do me regardless), in part because of this, it would be problematic to allow this place to get so caught up in worrying about people's feelings that truths become indistinguishable from untruths. I think a spade should be called for a spade, and I don't believe I should have to spend so much of my energy, as I said above, wrapping the truth up in a pleasant package, when it's time and energy-consuming enough just to deliver the raw truth as it is.
I find shitting on people's false truth claims to be an effective way of saying, "Hey, don't go around making truth claims, if you don't really know what you're talking about. Feel free to qualify what you're saying, recognizing that you're just speaking out loud, or trying to figure out what the truth is, but don't go around making it sound like you're an authority on the matter, when obviously you're not."
For some people, argument = discussion.
I will correct what I said before, and say that argument is a form of discussion, but not all discussion takes the form of an argument.
Also, this is as big of a personal rule to push on people here, as any unhealthy ESFJ's insistence on social rules:
Now don't make me go and shit on your half-assed truth claim!
Note the
strikeout: but, like, yeah... duh...
Look at what Kalach was saying in that other thread: we're all bringing our own cognitive preferences into our discussions.
I'm not denying that by any means.
I'm just saying, if you're gunna do you, then I'ma do me.
Furthermore, as Peacebaby pointed out, at least mine are
objective objective.
