Then I think you misunderstand about introverts. Please read the article again, as well as my post this morning.
Introverts aren't necessarily unsocial or uncommunicative.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Introvert or Extrovert - which are you?

I read the article, I agree with your statement, but most do not go out of their way to be social and communicative.
You thrive on posting, getting people to, as you call it, have stimulating conversations, I call it arguing.
You let everyone know your opinion on every topic that comes up, whether they want it or not.
I am not saying all of that it bad, but I don't see that as the dominate characteristics of an introvert.
As stated below.

by Michaela | 9 comments
It’s no secret that introverts dislike conflict. We would rather stay silent than rock the boat. We tend to favor avoidance over confrontation. If the choice is between fight or flight, we usually choose the latter. Some of us will even go hungry trying to dodge a potential clash (I’ve dropped entire dress sizes while avoiding angry roommates).

There's this thing out there (and it's NOT on the internet); called "Tact".
Used it properly: you can tell somebody to go to Hell, and actually have them looking forward to the trip! :thumbup:

And you are being judgmental, I think. You don't know me at all but you're ready to draw conclusions about me based on my activity on this forum. Introvert is only part of who I am. Another part is someone who learned long ago that I need to speak up and be counted if I want to get anywhere in life.
So, although my preference is to avoid open conflict in social situations, and I avoid social situations where conflict is likely or inevitable (thankfully I don't have to go to work in an office anymore), that doesn't mean I am unwilling to exchange ideas in a meaningful debate.

Okay, Mr. overbearing introvert.

No, nothing judgmental about it. Just going by the observations I have made in the few years I have been on here.
If I were to accuse someone of stealing when they walked out of a store and assumed they had stolen it, then called them a thief, that would be judgmental. If I watched them take it off of the shelf, put it in their pocket and walk out of the store without paying, it would not be judgmental to say he was a thief, but a statement of fact based on my observations.
I have observed you inserting yourself into post when prayers for someone is mentioned, telling them how it does nothing.
I have observed you confronting anyone who has any threads about guns or the second amendment.
If someone expresses any ideas that are political or socially conservative, you have to tell how they are wrong.
As far as "speaking up to get anywhere in life", how does that pertain to belittling someones religious beliefs? What did it do to get you any farther in life when you confront someone on constitutional, or political beliefs?
I am not saying that you shouldn't, or condemning you for the stances that you take. I am not saying you should not express you opinion, but don't do it with the excuse that you are advancing yourself in life somehow.
I am saying however that in all my years of sales, teaching building classes, and being very active in teaching at church, I have met tens of thousands of people. In this time I have met many introverts. Every introvert I have ever met was not argumentative, or confrontational until they were personally attacked, and most times not even then. They didn't go out of there way to be controversial or argumentative as I have observed you to be.
Me, I know I am not an introvert, and I love expressing my opinion of things, as you can probably tell. Doesn't mean I am right or wrong, but it is a good debate. I try to do my best not to make it personal and attack an individual unless they are blatantly rude. Yes I have done that here on occasion unfortunately.

That's being judgmental. Just as the article says, an extrovert will never understand (or respect, in most cases) an introvert.

I think you just validated my earlier post;
Okay, so here's my theory as it relates to behavior on the off-topic forum.
I think a lot of participants who get caught up in heated arguments are introverts who would not engage in the same way if it were to take place in a social setting. They either would not be in that social setting in the first place, or would keep their thoughts to themselves rather than engage in verbal combat with the extroverts. But the distance, both virtual and actual, created by the online forum, provides the opportunity for introverts to engage, disengage and reflect as they wish. There is no immediacy or social pressure as there would be at a real gathering.
Only introverts.

UP,
I went out of the way to find this example of introvert vs extrovert.
The first clip on this video shows two extroverts; they are able to talk things out. The second two are introverts, with pent up emotions, which are set free for all to see.
Can you quote some more scripture, please; it gives me goose bumps, coming from you.:roflblack:
I know, I just perverted the whole topic.
Okay, glad to oblige here's one for you;
Matthew 5:3-10 (The Beatitudes)
[*]Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[*]Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
[*]Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
[*]Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
[*]Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
[*]Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.- Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
- Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Good grief. Sometimes in these threads it reminds me of the two 80 year olds who decided to take it outside the bar and settle it when I was in Australia. It was just sad, lots of drunken bluster and whiffed punches. It was also, in its own way, sort of humorous as we don’t advance much past 5 year olds in some situations. I guess it also reminds me of my dad when in declining mental state went to try to grab a nurses boob. Also sad but humorous and she was a good sport about it. Some instincts die hard apparently. :yes:
All I really meant to post is that Introvert and Extrovert are all on the same spectrum and are just STYLE preferences anyone will exhibit either style to varying degree depending on circumstances.
Sorry for the trip trip down memory lane.
