not sure how to respond. I flatter myself to believe that I have grown up enough in life, to not fortify my conclusions; or, if I do, to always leave the drawbridge open a chink, enough that if any new pertinent information comes in, it will be allowed, but not enough to admit trolls or Uruk-Hai from Isengard bearing a blasting fire...or even ordinary Uruks from Mordor.
Not that I consider INFPs trolls OR orcs; to them, rather, I say
pedo mellon a minno; but as INFPs have discovered of their own values landmines, there are values trolls in real life as well as on line; and
well-meaning but mistaken friends, as well as honest differences of opinion, in addition to enemies.
My speech was meant to be very nearly the highest praise that an INTJ can give; namely, that it has often happened that INFPs *have* borne additional relevant consideration, that I had not built in; and which in fact *compelled* reconsideration of my TRUTH(TM). For which, if it is done in a spirit of care and respect, an INTJ will *always* be grateful.
Incidentally -- may I say,
pax? Despite appearances, it is not my intent to "wall you up" with your conclusions; rather, it is that when I believe enough facts are gathered, and they happen to *point to* a conclusion, it is best to grasp that conclusion as a working hypothesis, and if appropriate for the type of fact it is, to act upon it.
If that is considered to be walling up, or unacceptable, then I wish to send an envoy to discuss terms of mutual respect and friendly co-existence -- say, like horses and sheep grazing peacefully together, no offense given nor taken. For INFPs appear to value authenticity, which I value highly.
Any other INFPs listening in to this thread are invited to chime in here.
