Am I the only one to have had brief conspiracy theory thoughts along the lines of "Shit, now LG has TWO accounts" ever since this guy registered? :p


No, you're not the only one. Yeah, it's odd that a brand-new person would start fawning on LG so quickly (if at all), but to also start posting oddly familiar rants about personality pigeonholing and how the world is stacked against them is quite suspicious.

But the thing that makes me most skeptical is that in NNK's recent LG-like Jungian-fetishist rant about personality types, he/she misspelled "accommodate" in exactly the same way LG misspells it ("accomidate"). Still not conclusive proof, of course. But extremely curious.

I wouldn't bet against you on that one Tobin.
The main question; is what the heck is the point of it?

Actually I'm not questioning the value of "knowing oneself", what I'm questioning is the point of this thread. Why does sharing this personal information help in any way? And given RPGDX's past responses to such posts, LG, you had to have guessed what the majority of people's responses would have been. Why do something when you know its only going to result in negative outcomes?

I personally found the personality type test really useful for myself. However I'm not about to share with a bunch of strangers, what possible point would there be?

If you've come to these conclusions about your relationships with people, that's great! But why would any of us what to know those kinds of details?

Your definition of "exactly the same" has a small margin of error to it. ;)

This may sound like a flame depending on your stance, but it isn't; I'm just curious, LG and NNK, are you guys involved in or otherwise in contact with scientology?

Hopefully so people will see where we are coming from better. :) There may be negative outcomes, those are inevitable. But there will be positive outcomes, too. Of this I am certain.

Aren't you?

I've only been around for a little while, but if it has to come down to personality types... LG is an attention seeker. That's hardly a bad thing, it just means that you should take his opinions with a pinch of salt.

It's a bogus religion started up by a certified wing-nut known as Ron Hubbard after the success of his rubbish book, Dianetics. It's basically Christianity in a clown suit.

Don't forget that it involves aliens from outter space who died and their spirits cause many of the diseases and suffering we see today.

Not to mention that Travolta movie...
Anyway, it is rather scary that people is involving themself in that sect.
