> Hi Cecil,
Hi there Ronnie :)

> The "technique" definitely isn't new to me. It makes me wonder what the reason you really can't talk straight to me is.

Cecil: Because you get mad at me too quick too easy too strong too much.

> The technique has a very, very bad flaw.
Cecil: I know.

It claims that, for example, "I said to HIM you're a bastard, I didn't say it to YOU."
Cecil: Right.

If someone really thinks this a) is less upsetting than being straight with the person him/herself or b) really would take the focus away from the person who's the subject--well, it's my opinion anyone considering this a deft little
> trick truly well working doesn't have a brain.
Cecil: Agree. I just get sick of people using it, that's all.

Furthermore, I think it's an indication of a very dishonest and morally corrupt person. Or someone who doesn't think.
Cecil: How about BOTH.

> About the issue itself,
Cecil: (oh-oh, here it comes, I'm in trouble now)

the reason I'm upset with you, Cecil isn't that you'd say "I think you might be a three with a 2 wing" (Actually, on the eariler time you said 2w3)
Cecil: Yes, when we first 'met', I thought you were a two, later I thought you were a three, (and still do).

but that you start telling me who I am, by describing what my bad traits are (traits I don't have) and how I could improve even thought you don't really know me at all.
Cecil: Yes, I was trying to help you. Or at least I thought I was. Either way, I meant well. It's obvious that the helpfulness was not exactly taken how I meant it to be, that is positive, not negative.

> I might very well be an ENFJ. Another possibility is INFJ. I'm an F, no matter how much I sometimes have wished (assured myself) otherwise. But what makes you so sure I'm "definitely" E? I mean, after all, this is a wwwboard, where telling the I/E difference is probably the most difficult of them all.
Cecil: (And a 'feisty' one too).
Why E? 1)Because your "J" stands out much more excessively than your "P". Others seem to display more "P" than "J". It seems to 'come' to me from the way people speak (write). And your J is definitely much a E kind (mine is "Intro" kind), meaning you're Extraverted J is much more offense-oriented than defense-oriented Introverted judgment.
