Process of Valuing does not involve Feeling alone, but both Feeling and Thinking.
One shall ask, what is a value? What do I mean when I say I value critical thinking? It means that I have an ethical maxim that critical thinking is desirable in some way. In further ramification we discover that I use both Feeling and Thinking to establish this maxim. I use thinking to discover what exactly my positive emotion is directed at and hence notice it is critical thinking.
Feeling, however, is used to generate emotion in itself. Thus, many Fs lack values because they are using only Feeling. In this case (in the case of most Fs), the only way they can be appreciated is if positive affirmation is fed to them. Doing the 'valuing' process that you speak of requires Thinking which is often nearly idle in Fs and INFPs.
You need to point out which of your posts were altered. I do not remember consciously altering the content, though I would not be surprised if they were misrepresented as often I am sloppy with the logistics of quoting.

Note 1: please refrain from altering my posts as you quote them. I refer specifically to the insertion of multiple question-marks. No, I don't think this is insignificant - I think it's a deliberate and misleading rhetorical device.".
