I would like to get the opinion of current Fe types here as to what are your feelings about the internet "forum" in general. Reason I ask is because I would not have expected Fe types to be comfortable in this type of social environment... There is no real feedback here as to how people react to what you write (though mostly it happens with angry posts) and there is no formality when addressing people, such as some sort of greeting before having a conversation in the threads, also being respectful especially towards people you haven't met before. At times it feels completely void of Fe, no art of conversation. I've fallen to that I must admit, but I wish it were different.
I've noticed that you guys seem to go on internet chats aside from the forum, so maybe that's the real pleasure you are getting. I'd be really interested to know how you feel about this, because I find it odd that you guys might like it.

or not, I do have trouble on the forum from time to time (as well as other internet communication that is strictly text) because I am cut off from body language, tone of voice, etc. In offline conversations, I am aware both subconsciously and in the moment of these qualities, as it creates my impression of the person for whatever purposes. I am fine with dry humor with my friends when I can hear and see them, but dry humor is completely lost on me online. I prefer stickam chats, when there's both audio and visual used, because it simulates more natural conversation. I feel like posting on a forum is like etching my words into stone, so I would be explaining this differently, most likely, if you asked this on another medium.
