Yes, it’s definitely the name-calling, childish stuff that’s wrong in all of this…

I don’t think you and I have had many differences of opinion 🙂

Of course! I think that I would agree with everything that you and Rachel have been saying today. It’s good to have differences. There’s also nothing wrong (sad as it might be) in falling out over something if the ways have parted, so to speak. What does seem pathetically childish is name-calling and a *I’m not playing anymore* mentality without any kind of real explanation.

Thank you for being a friend. And for tolerating me, where we have had differences of opinion. It’s the mark of a true friend. ^__^

Maybe she will, maybe she won’t. It’s fine. *shrugs*

I’m a little disappointed because they were one of my first lj friends and, like I said, I thought that we were friends. Maybe we were? It seems now we’re not. It’s her loss not mine – I’ve still got a great bunch of friends (and I’m not just talking about the lj meaning of the word) around me, and I think that they know who they are. *grins*

I’d forgotten that there was that post still out there with all the evidence laid bare… 😉

I thought for a minute that you were just very *up* on my friends list! *grins*

Thanks for your support!

In theory it sounds quite nice to have everyone agree with you all the time, but in practice, yeah, it’s dulling. I would rather be sparked into thinking about something, even defending my position.

I rarely change my fundamental opinion on the ‘big’ issues (do many of us??), but it only bothers me when someone takes the opposite view if they’re very full-on aggressive about it. Even then I’d be very unlikely to defriend unless personally attacked for holding my particular opinion 🙂

I wouldn’t like to have friends on my list who agreed with me over everything, would you? Would be so boring. So if someone defriended me because they didn’t like my opinion on something that really didn’t affect them, I say they’re weird and I’m better off 🙂

Well, I’ve strongly disagreed with lots of things people have said on my f’list, but I wouldn’t defriend anyone unless they attacked me personally, or said something that offended me personally. But over a *political* issue, er, no :-/

Ah, I see now. Don’t remember reading that post. Seems rather a storm-in-a-teacup reason to defriend someone!

Eh, I probably could if I kept track of people’s flists…

But yeah, keep smiling. And who knows, maybe she’ll rethink once she calms down.

Who is this strange person?

It’s actually quite easy to work out, with a bit of not-so-lateral thinking 🙂

…and this is one of the many reasons why your true friends like you so much 🙂

Quite deliberately, this is a public post; I am smiling; I am making jam; and I am happy. These were the point of the post.

The weirdness of which you speak (for weirdness is what it is) is inconsequential. It doesn’t matter. But it is a public post, and thus is open to all and to google, and for this reason I would prefer not say.
