> Interestingly, I probably have the least contact with the modern-day popular teachings of the Enneagram than anyone on this board. So it shocks me to hear other members of this board who act as if they don't understand what's happening here.
> Tiggy, you have an Enneagram book or two, right? You know where there are some sites with reliable material, yes? Read about Eights. Not everything you read need be taken in formatorily, aka mechanically, but as a basis of reference to help seperate from identifying with life's contradictions.
> Mikko's personality type is an Eight. They need to break rules as much as they need to follow them. By breaking his own rules, the Eight gets to see what the response of others will be and thus he can determine who is friend and foe. Its not that he intends to do this! It's his nature! He just unconsciously deletes a post that isn't necessarily worthy of deleting, is complacent in enforcing the same rules consistently with an otherwise abusive party, feigns indifference, and gets to see all the mutants jumping out of the woodwork to criticize him.
> Study the enneagram. It is an AMAZING tool and so many here are completely unfamiliar with the origins of its most recent resurfacing. A must in order to get beyond the false promise of a 'better life'.
