Ah, thanks, makes sense. Now I think I get what you mean by "how people will use their Fe to interpret the article is almost fixed".
Personally, when I post some theory here about type, I do so in hopes to get feedback about whether or not other people agree. It's sometimes difficult to tell whether that's what someone is doing- bouncing their theories off others to test it out- or if they actually feel entitled to dictate shared reality, as if they can make a thing true through sheer willpower (it's not done consciously, but the imbalance is clear to other people). The latter is indeed very grating to deal with, and I'll concede that I do catch a whiff of it in this guy's posts. I've also learned that sometimes other 'types' get overzealous in a way I don't understand, and it might be a case of the guy just not knowing he's coming on too strong. It's hard to say without extended exposure to a person (to see if they're just worked up in the moment and aren't paying attention to their tone, or if they consistently expect others to ingest their ideas whole). I believe I understand what you're saying though, and I agree.

This is a link in my signature I kept for a reason. For faster reading, check the "False guru" session.
I am in your boat man, and I feel the hurt when something like that happened. Not only the hurt of the others who refused or have no space to participate, but I feel the hurt of the author who posted out those stuff with or without realization, be it they deliberately doing so, or not.
In previous forums where I used to browse, which now I stopped posting, are full of people who posted their opinion not for the sake of discussion but the attempt to dominate the discussion by controlling whatever others are trying to post, and call people stupid, derailing, names, placing disagreement, insults, personal degrading, etc, to those who express a slight disagreement to the points that they are trying to lead people to believe. It happens so often in certain books I used to read and groups that I used to be in, and people just praise their masters as if they are Gods.
Nowadays, when I sense these threads, I simply choose not to participate at all.
