I'll have to say that there really are these two polar opposites on this issue. Many a flame war has been started on here concerning these very differences. I'm sorry you're not astute enough to have noticed.

Also, I never said it was a scientific study. It was a parable showing that two polar opposites can find common ground and work together. I don't think anybody thinks that they fall solely into one category. Everybody has a little bit of both sides in them, and the story was meant to not only bring people togehter as a group, but to bring people together within themselves. The message is "fight hard, but also fight carefully." Use your heart and your mind.

Everybody on here falls somewhere within that spectrum. Some are more extreme than others. And no, I am not claiming that is a scientific analysis, but everybody except for you has so far agreed with me. Yes, I have projected my own mental constructs into the categories this post brings up. What is wrong with that? Why wouldn't other people be dealing with the same mental constructs, and the same internal conflict? It seems to me that they are. And even if they're not, they realize that others are, and they applaud my analysis.

You, however, missed the entire purpose and point of my post. It was not a rigorous term paper, or Masters' Thesis. It was a short parable meant to inspire people.
