I really enjoyed your article and as a INTJ I can really relate. Although I have often been described as being nice myself, it is something that I have had to work on (that and trying to hide the RBF).
I am wary of people who are perpetually nice and who avoid conflict (I agree with you cowardice comment!) because they sometimes tend to have vindictive ways (yes, nice people can also be mean) at getting back at you instead of just facing you head on.
I guess the hard thing is to find the balance between sincerity and diplomacy. But, as with most things in life I guess we should never stop learning and trying to better ourselves!
