Which person do you miss?  Joe?  One of the asshole mods?

If you had your facts straight, the people got banned for inviting people to the new forum, not for being assholes. That is just you projecting your fears of being banned (ironically for being an asshole).

Inviting people to jump ship is as asshole of a move as it gets.

Going to the forum uninvited and calling the invited ones assholes should be labeled as super assholes

I'm not even active there, but when you find it, it's obvious.

I feel like a missionary travelling to Africa to educate the uncivilised masses ..and spread the good word of MBTI/SD.

It's God's work !!

Most missionaries are corrupt. They exploit the poor and the uncivilized in the name of God's work. There's only one place for such roaches - jail. 

God bless the uncivilized. They born with a pure heart, though no table manners.

Do you think people generally perceive you as a bit of an asshole? Instead of offloading responsibility to your MBTI type or SD, do you think that is something you can work on?

1. Leo says he's God unironically.

2. I say I'm God cause that's literally my username.  It's a lighthearted joke for those who are aware.

3. I only seem like an asshole to those who don't look deeper.  To anyone who gets offended, it's never directly my fault, and always an opportunity for them to reevaluate their emotions, biases, and first impressions.  I make it easy to misunderstand me, but the moment someone attacks me they realise I haven't actually done anything bad and they feel embarrassed.  It's entertaining for me, and educational for them.  Literally no Tier 1 does this.  No Orange/Green would voluntarily choose to be seen as something bad for the valuable insights and discussions this might result in, so they don't understand when they see someone do this.  It would be easy to never be controversial, but there's no value in that.

This why most Turquoises leave the forum and don't come back.  Unless you're a Turquoise ENTP who likes being controversial, there's no value in being on the forum.  If I was a Turquoise feeler, what reason would I have to post any Turquoise insights/ideas?  I'd know they'd upset some people, being Turquoise ideas, and I wouldn't defend the ideas being a feeler.  So in the end I wouldn't post anything.

@thisintegrated So many ways to justify being an asshole ?

@Consept yeah i agree with your points. 

However, I think trauma healing, self help and spiritual enlightenment are inextricably linked in a strange loop. You cannot remove any of these aspects and have the others. This forum is too biased towards self help and enlightenment. whereas other communities are wayy too focused on the self help aspect that they become toxic.

Yeah there's a Ken Wilbur model where he says you need to -

Grow up - mature, become self sufficient etc motivation and self can aid this 

Clean up - work on your traumas, mental health stuff

Wake up - spirituality, realise you're not your seperate self 

Show up - do something in the world, serve 

I believe if you haven't got the first 2 down or at least made good progress, you'll really just be trying to wake up or show up to sort out the first 2. A big problem on the forum is that the wake up part is sold as the only thing that's important and this can be a big problem if a lot of your members haven't gone through the first 2

You've never seen a thread bitching about Leo being an arrogant asshole?  Why single me out?  Do you hold me to a higher standard than Leo?
