I'm not siding with them at all, but you are upset. You've just channeled the upset--'ness' into something constructive instead of breaking down. So, as trite and difficult as the following may seem, do something that you like. It'll take your mind off these problems and ease your nerves. :)...

Though the example itself wasn't good, it gave me a bit of insight into how I'm perceived, and for that, thanks! :) It and Kuu's post let me see how I can avoid patronizing while telling someone that I can help them with something. What I learned is hard to put into words, but I can see...

Are you trolling? -Duxwing

Everything regarding you, your mom, and your dad is going to be OK, though, right? Wrong? Maybe? :confused: -Duxwing

Oh I was quite serious about helping him, just not about being a jerk about it. -Duxwing

Sorry I'm late to reply (my phone died and my parents turn off my internet at 20:00) but don't you people understand jokes? That sentence had a grin smilie in the middle of it: I was trying to Cross the Line Twice! But no, Poe's Law just had to get in the way. Oi... ...And then you tell me...

It's all just a question of motivation relative to pain. We can do anything that's physically possible if we want to. That sounds rather ominous. -Duxwing

I can relate to the part about facing difficulties in debate due to other members' problems. Oftentimes, one or two opponents will join the one that I had originally intended to argue against, burying me in arguments. But more insidious are the various ad-hominem attacks, both real and...

Ever since he joined. You're entirely misrepresenting my argument. I want to understand what he has to say, but I can't because reading his posts is like rubbing sand in my eyes. False analogy: You can use a calculator to do math for you, but no machine can (at the moment) make Chad's...

And is posting incoherent ramblings OK around here? -Duxwing

Ah, OK. :) -Duxwing

What on earth are you talking about? :confused: -Duxwing

Reread my post: I asked for examples of what you asserted to exist, not an in-depth explanation of your code of private conjecutres. -Duxwing

Cool! -Duxwing

Re: What Are INTP's Passsionate About? --Precision, accuracy, elegance, completeness, validity, and truth in thought and expression.* --Justice in the proceedings of the world. --The wonders of language, science, and philosophy. -Duxwing *You've misspelled "passionate".

What do you think about the issue? -Duxwing

What you're describing is not Ti as much as it is intellectualization, a process by which emotional pain drives intellectual inquiry. In your case, the intellectualization is beneficial to both others and you, so you could call it sublimation (channeling negative feelings into constructive...

It won't grow if you don't make it. Ask about promotion opportunities! :) I don't want to sound mean-spirited, bu your 'nonchalant' attitude toward spelling and grammar is unfair to the rest of us. I, for one, would certainly like to read your posts and debate with you, but I don't because...

Research and development? Nice! You'll want to work on your spelling and grammar so that you can write reports, letters, and e-mails well, though. Any particular reason that you have a hard time with it? -Duxwing

No, TV Tropes, actually. :) But I'm not much for satire; I'll pass. -Duxwing

Fritz the Cat? I've heard that from somewhere. Is it some sort of a lurid adult show? -Duxwing

Could you provide som examples of the "fundamentalist atheists" of whom you speak simply stating that God doesn't exist (i.e., asking for evidence) in a religious conversation? Remember that they're only wrong to do so if their arguments are not in line with the axioms of the thread (e.g...

Oh yes, I feel that, too: it's a 'snagging' feeling, like I'm trying to pull a metal cylinder with a square peg on its side through a metal pipe that doesn't have a notch for the peg. Ow! Just thinking about that hurts! O.O But when I find a chink in an opponent's armor, I get very excited...

I'm soooo butt-hurt. -Duxwing

Oh, we're bringing Billy jokes into this? Let the games begin! What do you call Billy when you nail him to a wall? Art. What do you call Billy when you lay him in front of your door? Matt. What do you call Billy when you throw him in your pool? Bob. What did Billy get for Christmas? Cancer...

Re: Sigastrialomundinjia Nope. I meant it genuinely. :) -Duxwing

Re: Sigastrialomundinjia :rolleyes: If so, then you give the best Lyra impression that I've ever seen. -Duxwing

Re: Sigastrialomundinjia *laughs* Pfft. Lyra, you've said yourself that you see this forum as nothing more than a plaything and an opportunity to experiment with different personalities. And I've read your "Dark Materials": you see posting as a way to make 'art' with 'symbolism' that we...

Re: Sigastrialomundinjia Headshot. Thanks, Kuu. -Duxwing

Took a shover? Where do you shove a shover? -Duxwing

*sigh* Where's the logic? -Duxwing

Not only can Ti reveal singular answers, it can also reduce systems to their bare essentials and manipulate them. For example, I learned the formula for a hyperbola today, and I wondered why three variables in it behaved according to the pythagorean theorem. After learning the distance to...

The integral of a curve is knowable only to an arbitrarily large but finite precision. -Duxwing

Taking a stand on something usually implies pushing values, beliefs, and ideals: in other words, feelings, or more specifically, Fi. Fi is doubly stunted in an INTP: not only is it the shadow of the inferior in terms of distance from the dominant, it must compete against Ti in a savage and...

:( Awwww. :) Right, we ought to save our QED's for math, logic, and epic, crushing, final blows. Could you provide some examples? A Jedi: When are the padawans to be released from their masters? Yoda: When ready, they are. Jedi: And when are they ready, master Yoda? Yoda...

Would you rather that we hold your suffering in contempt, or offer some aid? ;) -Duxwing

You've got stiff competition. :) Think of all the philosophers with whom you disagreed. No. To the Batmobile! :D That depends on the context. No. By definition, infinity does not exist without infinite things. No. Infinity is the concept used to describe the fact that...

But you, too, seem very reasonable! :eek: -Duxwing

HA! I WAS RIGHT! You do learn better when you connect your concepts immediately! Take THAT, history teacher! All gloating aside, his points are very, very good, and we ought to apply them in classrooms. -Duxwing

Re: Who is the most influential person on this forum? Yeah, I've been wondering that, too. -Duxwing

Perhaps real life conversation so habituates us to knowing the age, race, gender, and type of those to whom we speak that simply not knowing-- even if the absence of knowledge is inconsequential-- is somewhat like walking around topless on a hot day after having worn shirts all your life. You...

Understood, thanks. -Duxwing

Although morality is codified empathy, I haven't yet codified mine. As for relative empathy, perhaps my lack of significant friendships in real life contributes to my outpouring of emotions online, and for that I apologize. As for post-mortem degradation, consider that none of us expects to be...

It's not morals as much as it is empathy-- my motivation to spilt the threads, that is. Imagine if you knew that people would be debating the significance of your works as they lowered you down. It would feel kind of creepy. -Duxwing

Unless some people use neither S nor N, or use them precisely equally, then the number of Sensors (people who use S functions more than they use N functions) and the number of iNtuitives (people who use N functions more than they use S functions) must equal the total population because, by the...

Pfft, this thread isn't worth the time of I, Duxwing, holder of the world championship belt for "Most Arrogant". Begone! ... :D -Duxwing

I'm a bit confused (and amused ['confused and amused' oh poetry] by the pun that is to follow) What do you mean by 'meaningful'? Willpower overcoming the impossible is an everpresent theme in Japanese narrative media, of which Dragonball is a part, but you might be referring to something more...

What's an ANN? That's too cool! :) -Duxwing

*cowers 'neath the shadow of the towering tome* Egads! Maniacal and ditsy, eh? That fits your username perfectly. :). But perhaps you're an Pe-Dom, and the mania and ditziness are just products of your ever-bubbly and dominant Pe rather than an INTP's constant Fe grip? -Duxwing

The INTP section of that article described me almost perfectly. Uncanny! What's your type, nighty? -Duxwing
