Well, you're just a silly goofball for thinking that in ridiculous way.
What's an ENFP?
I believe a lot of that "thinking out loud" goes on here, but many times
it's clarified as such. I know that I sometimes forget to disclaim, and I
wind up having to explain the in-progress nature of my thoughts after the
fact. It's a pain, but in this forum (and pretty much every Usenet-style
forum I've seen), it's the nature of the beast.
Maybe a good way to handle it is three-pronged: Realize, for yourself,
that you're simply playing with ideas rather than cementing your opinions;
recognize that people's attacks on your view are therefore *not* attacks on
your fundamental view but rather on the presented opinions; and even if it
seems like the attacks are personal, don't take them that way, since the
ideas coming at you may themselves merely be "thinking out loud."
Of course, when I call you a lunkheaded spelunker, I may or may not be
serious, you zany cave-fetishist!
Dave!
