hmm...well, yesterday, i made a comment suggesting that the military would be a bad thing, and the guy started trolling.

i will admit, i shouldnt have fed the troll, but....well, sometimes you just see red Tongue
It is good advice Erkolos. I'm going to take it.
B"H

I think the answer is to join the "e^x" gang.  No, I'm not "trolling."  I'm very serious.  It is an attempt to heal a divide through humor.  Erkelos, Mom of Hrick, pikajedi4 and all others are welcome in to my gang:

This will be the last welcome post I will put on other threads.

All the best,
I dunno - I know arguing can be exhausting...  but for me I find when someone puts forward a point of view and it isn't challenged on a forum that will makes watchers think that people agree with them.
Can someone please tell me what trolling and flaming actually are?  I can guess at trolls, but flaming..?
I summon the 300 aspies to resolve arguments!

Bad things have happened which I don't completely understand...
I've tried to be act in a balanced and even handed way and yet all I end up doing is upsetting people.

I could never be a moderator...
I get too emotional involved...I loose perspective and behave irrationally.

I'm avoiding auguements from now on.

But people want to feel that you are on "their side". If you side with new people against older friends, then naturally the older friends are going to wonder how valued their friendship really was.

If it comes down to it, I’m always going to support my older friends over newer people.

But I do try to see both sides…
This can sometimes mean I get trapped in the middle.
It can appear to my older friends that I’ve abandoned them in favour of newly people--when this was never truely the case.
I have in the past associated with unpopular people (Lucie1, Wilky etc)--I make no apologies for this; but I've never for one second forgotten where my loyalties lie.  

But not all sides are equally valid in all cases.

Seems like too much trouble at times and I think this can all too easily lead to wishy-washy behaviour which can and does annoy people who'd like a decisive stand made on a particular issue.
