Calendar Events / Announcements '11 II / Re: Political Differences Among DS Fans
« on: September 01, 2011, 03:08:32 PM »
A good policy might be to allow anyone a certain substantial period as a FB friend, and if she/he doesn't put his/her foot in her/his mouth politically in that time... allow more time. And I don't mean just liking Sarah Palin or being a fundamentalist. Occasionally I find someone who has these inexplicable (to me) characteristics, and I turn out to get along better with them than I do with a hundred who supposedly agree with me politically. I'd say wait for specific distasteful ideas to crop up. Then address them, don't, or just drop the FB friendship...
Then again, I don't "friend" people on the basis of their being DS fans, anymore. If they like DS but have other interests too, and aren't FB gamne players, and don't use too many exclamation points, then I might. Above all else, I head off conflicts, because I'm no longer in any state to withstand any. I'm getting good at it, I think. I create havens for myself on the Internet where arguments don't get out of hand.
