You never know who you would've known... | phidget's Blog


I regretfully must announce that I have lost an EP friend due to my neutrality... and though I am saddened at the loss of someone I had barely gotten to know and had hoped to get to know better... I must stand my ground on my stance of neutrality.  I do not choose sides... I stand up for statements made by others that I believe to be along the same line of thought of how I feel.  I do not pick one person over another... I won't automatically choose a friend over someone who I don't know at all... I am a fair and open-minded person and believe that I have remained so on this site as I do in person.  An argument (or whatever one may call it) on here that is none of my business will remain just that... I don't feel the need to validate anyone regardless of their relationship with me... if I stand behind their statement then I may make a comment on such but I will not attack someone just because they attacked a friend of mine... I know that this concept is foreign to some as they like to instigate and propagate drama but I am a drama free person and will continue to live my life as so.  


 

I do not mean to offend or hurt anyone... I do not mean to turn anyone against me or others... I do not expect anyone to agree with me nor do I think that I should be expected to agree with anyone as well... we are all individuals and free in our thoughts and feelings... I can only be me... and those who erase me as a friend because of a conflict between them and someone on my friends list is only losing the opportunity at getting to know someone they may have a lot more in common than they thought.


 

I wish everyone (my EP friends and those I do not know) all the best and hope that they find what they are looking for... but I must also say that you never know who would have known if you don't take that chance...

I don't think naming who I lost is the point... it just concerns me that I can be written off so easily when it's not my battle to fight... kind of hurts the soul... Thanks you two for understanding (speaking of my PM sent to you guys)... love ya'll!!!

How morally ethical of you. Well stated and clearly put. *Standing "O"!*

Great blog phidget!! You spoke a world of truth. I would never dump someone because they are friends with someone I dont particularly like. I have taken side before I admit.....but only when a friend of mine was unfairly attacked. I am careful not to get involved in too many squabbles though, because thats not what Im here for. I enjoy a friendly debate, even when we disagree; but when tempers begin to heat (including mine), I back down and try to leave it alone. You made a wonderful point!!

spoken in a very nice way, straight foward and I agree with your position phidget.It's fine to agree or not.I believe humor and real concern is the better way to comment on stories.We approach new people and don't know their real personality.It doesn't need to work out ..not here or in the world outside of the computer.We should be reasonable at all times.
