Perhaps we don't see your non verbals

Bart, some feedback. Unless you are very skilled at using the written medium, it is very easy to create the wrong impression. I take your word that you are not attacking but when all you see is the written word and you make statements that something is "valueless" and telling them that it "hurts their (professional) practice", to the vast majority of people reading that, that suggests that you do not respect their opinion. It also suggests a superiority which you say in another post you do not feel. A robust disagreement is fine but it needs to be robust on facts not on emotive words such as "valueless". You have many interesting perspectives on things to contribute to enneagram discussion. However, a possible outcome if you do not become sensitive to the effects of your subjective comments on other people may be that they will decline to dialogue with you and that will be a loss to everyone, both yourself and us.
