If Protean wanted to set the ground rules how the INFP conducted themselves in their own "why do you hate an INFP" thread, then she should have been the one to start it and have spelled those rules out clearly to begin with. It is ridiculous to complain now "We ENFJ played by these unspoken rules and you should have too and now I am upset!"
I think you honed in on the wrong part of my post. And if you notice, mostly everyone that has commented in this thread has taken it in stride. And this kind of proves my point in a way. You're indignant about me commenting on the softness of the Hate an NF threads? I'm not upset about any unspoken rules, I was just voicing an observation I noticed about the tone of the Hate an NF threads how when someone goes to complain about the type in question (even done on the ENFJ thread so I'm not excluding it either) the complaint is typically sandwiched between cushion. Anybody foolish enough to apply the behavior of one or two or even 10 unhealthy versions of any particular type to everyone of that type needs to back away from the MBTI.
Nor is my intention for this to become "Hate an INFP: Raw and Uncut" either. I used the INFP thread as an example because it's the most recent. If my using that one as an example offended you heart, I don't know what to say about that. If you notice the tone of my OP is was half serious and half joking. I was serious about why people feel a need to defend the unhealthy members of their type as if the person complaining about them were insulting them directly and how in defending those members it actually may make people reluctant to share their experiences. I was trying to lighten that observation with a joke about having some good competition from other NFs.
I hope I've clarified.
