	I never understood the Wall Of Text problem. If a thread page has 20 posts averaging 20 words, and the next page has 10 posts averaging 40 words... I think the real problem is the 'not wanting to read someone's post'. That's when 'moving on' works best. Demanding (complaing) that someone reduces the word count is wrong. If I see more words than I care to read, or if they're words I've read before, I use my ignore function (will power), and don't read them, and I don't tell anyone to stop posting so many words. At least I don't think I do.

You can respond to someone's most recent post without reposting the last 30 responses in the conversation. Whenever putting anything in writing it is never a bad idea to consider the perspective of your readers and to spare them from these problems.

You have to come up with a logically sound reason why he should change his mind. He will argue points that he does not even believe to be true just to shake the truth from a conversation. INTJ's are fact hungry. Well, you see, that's why I don't think he's a pure INTJ. He very much cares about being right. In the Detective Comics discussion here, I said I thought CGC got it wrong and the comic wasn't restored. I then said I would LOVE to buy that comic for $1000, and send it back in for proper grading, get the windfall for going back to a blue label. Look at that, he said, Tedsaid wants to slip it past the graders, cheat the system on a comic he knows is restored. "That's crossing the line." Hilariously, when I challenged him on it, he admitted I didn't actually SAY I wanted to cheat the system, but I "walked right up to the line." What line? What does that even mean? Either I said I wanted to cheat the system or I didn't. There is no "line" there. You can't be a little bit pregnant. Anyway, that's just one of many examples where he will tie himself into knots to keep from backing down. But I get what you are saying. A lot of the INTJ does fit. By the way, he is hopping mad right now that we are talking about him and he can't participate. The mods are right and I do have empathy about that. I've been dealing with flat out lies about me that were spread 15 years ago on a board that I chose to leave. I even dealt with online stalkers at one point. I was actually trying to defend him even though I don't get fuzzy warm joy reading his posts.

It's too overwhelming, too many subforums, and too unorganized. Less is more. This forum is easier on the eyes and not difficult to search or find topics. My only complaint is there is no block feature or more privacy controls.

It nails my personality and it nails my girlfriend's personality. She's an INTJ also. Whatever you believe is fine. Ignore those instructions and you'll likely get treated exactly as those summaries say I will react. The only reason I'd respond differently is if I wanted to mess with you.

Controversy and news generate the most responses on a messageboard. If you find yourself always in a flame war with people constantly, post some news that people care about.

I agree about paragraphs, but didn't realize a lack of them is what qualifies a post as being a WOT. I've seen perfectly structured posts accused of being a WOT. Also agree about pyramids, and just did my part to show how they can easily be avoided. I would also think using well structured words, of ANY length, is more of a compliment to the reader[s] as opposed to assuming they have a low attention span.

It's more that if you took a trait test like the Big Five instead of a type test like Myers-Briggs, you would (probably) be described just as well, and lots of other people would be described more accurately. Just trying to quickly inject some psych knowledge into the group.

Some people score in the middle and their letters may change depending on how they interpret the questions.

At least I don't think I do. Well, the way I was using the phrase it was more about a whole page or two replying to, say, five or six distinct points. And the denizens prefer it if each subject had it's own thread. And so these threads would emerge from the first post because someone would reply to each thought within the copy of the post, broken into five or six distinct pieces. And then the next person who would respond would just pick whichever one her or she wanted to respond to. And the next person, if they were responding to a different thread, then that post would branch off the first one. And so on, until every subject was exhausted. Anyway, it was hard to keep the threads straight if you had to read all of them before moving on to any of the responses.
