This conversation didn't start off on the right foot. Maybe to the newb some members came off as hostile right away because newb wasn't acquainted with their posting style. Everyone just chillax. Start over.
Last chance to take back our Democracy - Elector Petition
- Thread starter indigoINFJempath
- Start date
No. The first hostile reply was you, to EH's perfectly civil reply to the OP, of which he simply disagreed and stated his own opinion. You were not "attacked". There was nothing hostile about it, until you replied this:
If you want a discussion, all sides get to have a say. What you seek, as has been stated before, is an echo chamber and you will not find that here.
Perhaps we misunderstood what your intention for this thread was, besides advertising an external website.
If it could start over, as @acd hypothesised, what kind of replies were you inviting?
Guidelines for the threads you create are legit, within the bounds of reason.
@indigoINFJempath
I know you probably do not want to hear from me but I do want to toss out an observation. I Do not believe I have ever seen a member draw out the ire of so many mods here and so quickly to boot. I am actually somewhat surprised by it myself.
There are people here who simply have not been able to find any common ground in discussions and it can be enough sometimes to step back from those discussions. If you find that's not enough, its exceptionally easy to block them either permanently or for a limited time.
I personally have found that even though I do not agree with some people here this particular forum remains somewhat stable where others would have gone completely nuclear by now. It's a welcome change for myself and something I think you will find in few other places.
Consider this as a potential reason to stay and consider what others are telling you...especially the mods. Not that what you are saying is wrong or right only that calling out every single person in how they are responding to you...well I would look at that first.
Best of luck and I think if you choose to stay you can gain some insight into the many ways of how different people perceive the same world.

Having said that, I believe @Stu has either blocked me or stopped responding to me as my many questions about whether he feels this petition to the electoral collage is a joke or if he is actually taking it seriously, have gone ignored and unanswered.
To this I say, ostriches never seem to survive long with their heads in the sand.

I didn't get good vibes from the start when I joined this forum. That's why I was so cautious in my intro. And I've been on the board just long enough to see all the cries of those who tried to bail once they realized what they were into, which looks to be like quicksand that would surely sink the whole Ostrich. Fortunately I haven't been on long enough to reveal too much of myself and for that, I'm grateful.
THE BOARD IS ADVERTISED AS AN INFJ FORUM WHICH IS MISLEADING
I don't do headgames and I've definitely seen and felt a lot of mindfucks here.
Watch that club koolaide Mr. Jones.
And to those who HAVE been kind, I am eternally grateful. You deserve better.

I'm not sure where this intolerance for people different from you is coming from, but...
There are many good people here, many of whom are not INFJs. Being an INFJ doesn't make you any better or more worthwhile company than anyone else. I'm sorry that you've had a negative experience, and I recognize that there can be conflict here, but this isn't some utopia where things are perfect all the time. We're just a little slice of the world, almost like a weird, dysfunctional family that makes things somehow work in the end. I love that the membership base here is so diverse. I wouldn't have it any other way. Perhaps if you're looking for somewhere exclusively for INFJs, this forum might not be a good fit for you. Many people on this forum genuinely care about each other, support each other through rough times, say beautiful things I feel grateful I was able to hear, are beautiful people I feel infinitely grateful just to have gotten to know them. There are good things here, but if you go in with certain expectations in mind, they may not be met.

Hmmmm....all of the sudden the hyperbolic talk of “election fraud” and all the votes of “illegals” voting seem to be a big pile of horseshit as the CIA has concluded that Russia helped hijack the election in favor of Trump (Mitch McConnel and John McCain have even signed on ((with others)) that it should be immediately investigated).
And Trump has always been cozy with Putin.
Forest for the trees....open your eyes.
Look at what he promised, and look at what and who he has picked so far.
People who will privatize the rest of our social programs, Medicare, Social Security, Public Education ("Oh, so sorry, your vouchers only cover 75% of the school’s tuition/hospital bill, we do accept personal checks...you know, inflation and all.”)
His tax cuts favor the very rich and put more of the tax burden on the working/middle/vanishing class.
Protecting our environment...who cares?
Educating our children - who cares?
Healing our sick - who cares?
Family medical leave - nice to know you.
Disabled, or on Social Security - Let’s cut that program first.
Childcare - Ha.
Banking Regulations - like sun to a vampire.
Trump IS the swamp.
