If you try to educate others, you probably have to ask first whether you're the one being wrong.

First, your quote is not from a post I answered.

Second, it's interesting to have a link to Jung's material. But stating "something is true, since Jung discusses it at length" is just a very bad argument. Why? Because duedl0r said so.

Third, actually, I share your opinion about the quote and all....but the way you wrote your post is not ok for me




I mentioned that Jung mentioned it I'm not a fanboy of his, as it happens. But nobody's wrong all the time.

Please educate me about what wasn't okay about my reply - it's all blandly factual. "Principle of Charity" is a thing, not a phrase of mine.
