Long as it doesn't have any long-term side effects.


And yes, I've found that my decision to maintain a specific mindset is really important these days. It determines whether I'll go to work with a determination to put in everything I can or slack off because of the stress.

No side effects whatsoever :)



I actually feel relieved that I am moving on, even if it appears I am going backwards to others. I haven't been myself for a long time, and I hope this will be a very positive thing for me :) I've had to force myself to keep a halfway positive mindset recently as well.

So, Ti Dominant was banned again.

Permanently, this time.

Seriously? A repeat offender...

Permanently, this time.

Same reason as last time I presume?

Edit:
I just checked. Same reason as last time.

How do you check?

I went over to that thread. I'm kind of surprised this guy's a thinker, aren't they suppose to not take those kind of posts so seriously? Perhaps that's just a stereotype I've read. I kind of related to him, which made his response all the more pathetic. I'm only saying because that on another site, I made a topic asking a question and didn't get helpful responses but instead got criticized. But on the other hand, 1. my question was quite more indepth, 2. the people responding to me were emotional, not witty (although perhaps the bluntness that is known with us thinkers is what really got him riled up), 3. when I started lashing out, I eventually apologized and also gave up a long time before he did.

Long story short, he could have reacted with more understanding, maturity, and perhaps a sense of humor. For only the second time since I've registered on PerC, I was relieved to come back to the ISTJ board after lurking. Amusingly enough, even though I do plenty of lurking around on the other boards, both times that I found these ridiculous topics, they were talked about on here and peeked my curiosity to go check it out.

Yes, he was.

Those that can't or won't keep their own ego in check, will periodically have it kept in check by others.

You go to the ban/infractions subforum. You have to scroll down to the bottom. Mods post the primary reason for the ban in the title and the specfifc reason in the post.

Being a thinker does not make one emotionally mature, nor does it eliminate the possibility of acting really stupid. I can personally testify to that, as I've been guilty of both, at times.

Each sub-forum tends to take on the flavor of the posters in that forum--their type, age, and other demographics will be reflected in their comments, contributing to the overall feel of the sub-forum.

The ISTJ forum tends to be a bit more PC, having a no-nonsense and serious feel to it, because you have a bunch of inspectors running around making sure everything is "right." It's in our nature so you can easily observe it through various comments we make to each other and outsiders. As a part of this, you will find other types feel comfortable and at ease posting in this forum, because we tend to prefer structure, dislike randomness, and tend to be welcoming of everyone that shows maturity in their words and style of posting.

Step back a bit and look at the posts everyone is making in a bigger picture view--you'll see a lot about how people relate to each other based on type.
