: :Of course, your labeling of me as a One shows your lack of knowledge on the Enneagram in that you trust too heavily on surface traits.
: Of course, you've obviously missed the irony here as well.. Good job Cory! Does it make sense for me to accuse you guys of doing something and then do it myself? No, not at all. My point is, I simply took a few iof your actions, actions which could be attrributed to type one, and then labelled you a one. That's the same things you (among others) have been doing.
No, what I find so incriminating of Tehuti being a Six is what she shows under the surface in a subtle manner. It's not so much her saying "Im an anxious person", which does lend credibility to my argument but doesn't prove it, but look at WHY she is reacting this way and HOW she reacts. I am NOT analyzing traits in this manner, I'm analyzing alleged motivation. What she says literally doesn't mean much...it's what she implies.
: Fair enough, but what I depspise, more than anything, is insensitive people, like yourself (and others), who don't seem to care about the PERSON behind the type. Either you don't care about Tehuti at all (reason enough for me to speak against you), or you DO care about her, but are too dumb to realize that calling her a phony could perhaps be taken as offensive.
And what I hate are weak bleeding-hearts like yourself. Since I'm so insensitive...calling me insensitive doesnt hurt me either.
: And the answer is clear. You're just a jerk. I don't understand how you can beleive that Tehuti is deliberately misrepresenting herself...why? And who cares? If she's a 4, fine. If not, that's fine as well. Why go to such great lengths to belittle her in one of the few places she can feel comfortable? You (and others) seem to find great joy in playing with the minds of people on this board, and that, Cory, is one of the reasons I've spoken out. You're just not very nice, and it's not fair that just because you're a frustrated pseudo-intellectual who's not getting any, doesn't mean you can take it out on people who've just come around to share thier thoughts and feelings.
Why resort to ad hominem attacks? This isn't part of the issue. No, it's just that your argument doesn't hold any water. Deep down you know I'm on to something for questioning Tehuti's type. But, you have to draw attention away by making cheap personal attacks...which by the way just undermine your credibility for being supposedly more mature than me.
: I'm afraid I can't take you up on that, Cory. I could suggest that you leave, on the grounds that you have acted in ways that are detrimental to the well-being of other members of the board. But I won't. I'll just say that you might want to try realizing that just because you talk a good game, doesn't mean that you're in the right.
But it's so fun pinching the nerves of others!
: You say you don't care for me, and I wonder why that is. Maybe my posts are dull, but I guess since I'm not a lesbian and haven't mentioned sex yet, you consider that to be dull. Sorry, I'll try to make things a bti interesting for you next time... Maybe post a pic that you can masturbate to...
I don't care for you because you have a bitchy attitude, missy! There ya go.
: You said that more than anything, you hated seeing fake people. I'm here. I'm pulling no punches.. I've said what I have to say, and I've held nothing back.. There's nothing fake about what I say. Much like yourself, Cory.
No, you're not fake. You're just abrasive. My hatred isn't limited to just artificial people, so you're in the crowd.
: Maybe you should reconsider what you hate the most. Maybe what you despise the most, is seeing people who have the capacity to care about others. It seems you have a real problem with those sorts.
No. I'd tell you what I hate besides pretense, but you might use it against me. You would use it against me. :)
: Love,
I love you too.
