[INTP] INTP Central

[Laurie]

I reach my INTP quota on this forum.

Lazy <> tolerant.
They tolerate you quite well if you never say anything. But then much of the forum is out of bounds (post count restrictions everywhere). So they force you to post, then tell you to STFU and GTFO! Really, they should just make it a private forum and be done with it already. Although if they didn't have noobs to eviscerate, and then conduct post-mortems over, the traffic might stop completely.

Clan leader is about right. It's becoming more and more tribal as various cliques band together against each other. It's interesting to watch. Reminds me of Lord of the Flies.

Private forums disintegrate. I've seen it happen. the existing politics and paranoia escalates. like being in a closed room the body heat explodes and its like a sauna and you want out.

The attitude is excessive, understandable. the underlining boundaries are tender, it is from external events to create a place where their domain is relaxed and amplified. when personalities congregate that way the negative traits tends to become more defined than the positives.

Infpgc was like that, felt like a venting vacuum of emotions, the patterns were of people trying to reconcile their physical reality in the virtual without seeing others clearly, reflecting in their self absorption.

Its like an antennae, connect the same frequency and the balance tends to be uneven without enough input.

True.

. Yes. That was always my problem with it. Negative self-reinforcing patterns of behaviour. And huge blind spots. That said, it's good for 'holding up the mirror' to the uglier side of one's nature, which in a mature individual, can hopefully catalyze change.

I think anyone who has any sense of intellegence will realise that. I was there to have fun; and enjoy myself! (like I'm doing with this forum. Except that they banned me )

The following is the insider perspective on n00bs at INTPc. Only in this case it involved derailing treads instead of threads. The clip begins with Hustler, is elaborated upon by the mass of intpness, and ends with Delilah. If only they had given Ming his last request! WHAT A WASTE!

This.

 

[MacGuffin]

yes, and most of them have huge sticks up their asses and the ones who don't are disliked by the humorless ones.

Which one is Limey????

 

[ObliviousExistence]

INTPc is very very slow... Did anyone else notice this?

yes, most are too afraid to have an opinion.

Limey is awesome sauce.
That is all

Just read the rise and fall of Ming at INTPc. Hillarious. In all fairness to INTPc it appears to have been a "mercy ban". Regardless Ming will likely go down in INTPc history as the first noob to inadvertently break 99% of the boards taboos in the least amount of time.

Twice? Ming was more like eight times as bright...

I actually have no idea what Ming Ming is?

Ming is part of the Wonder Pets TV show. Linny (the guinea pig), Tuck (the turtle), and Ming-Ming (the duckling) go around like a superhero team and help pets and animals in trouble.

You'd love it, they've got music that is campy as hell...! Kids show crossed with camp crossed with English opera lite.

I can't find a straight theme song clip, they all seem to be compiled stills, but here is one that has all the main songs in it...

that was good. here is hustler, aka the man behind the curtain. [YOUTUBE="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZR64EF3OpA&feature=related"]shitty wizard[/YOUTUBE]

limey's the one who isn't a failure and a fuck up.

Wow. That made me tear up and gave me feelings I don't quite understand.

Still, though, can I be the turtle?

There are many possibilities for metaphors here. We know the strawman argument is well established, but I think there should also be a tinman argument - equally fallacious (in certain contexts).

wow... now I'm paranoid as to what I'd be if you posted a video to represent Typology Central somewhere

Yup. You just never know, do you?
(of course, Hustler doesn't give a flying monkey's bottom....)

On INTPc elimination of those criteria leaves a null set.

Sometimes the wrong impression is given when someone joins INTPc and the response is "Go away, we don't want you, so join the loser forum TypologyCentral. It makes it seem like this place is a consolation prize, but it is a great place and overall more diverse.

I don't think anyone means it like that. At INTPc, the whole point is that it's meant for INTPs. There's plenty of new members who have fit in right off the bat. When they're linked here, it generally means that it's very obvious that they don't have the sort of personality that meshes well with the forum culture. It's like a frat boy wanting to join a DnD session. It's not that this forum is a consolation prize, it's that it's a better fit for those kinds of people, so everyone's happy.

Well, I generally agree with that as the most POSITIVE spin I've seen on it (espoused maybe by Woolf and similar members) ... but be real. There's quite a number of people who put off the vibe that Toonia notes too... and yes, I think they meant it.

I'd like to be let back into INTPc. Such a sad day (for me) when they banned me. Not that life doesn't go on, but I did rather enjoy most people over there.

Heh. Well, I might think Ming's ban was rather preemptive, but you sort of egged them on with yours... It was obvious where it was going, but you kept doing whatever it was you were doing; the ending sort of wrote itself.
