This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This is actually pretty perceptive (no pun intended), although it isn't 
the *quite* the way I learned it. The Myers-Briggs website puts it this way:

"...when it comes to dealing with the outer world, people who tend to 
focus on making decisions have a preference for Judging *because they 
tend to like things decided*. People who tend to focus on taking in 
information prefer Perceiving *because they stay open to a final 
decision in order to get more information*."
http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/judging-or-perceiving.asp

I haven't really noted a war between these personality types. Perceivers 
want a decider as long  as as much time as possible was made available 
for investigation. But I can see that Judgers would be distressed by an 
environment where investigation is inevitably open ended, where all the 
answers might never be nailed down.
