You know what I hate?

Seeing my friends fighting eachother. I mean, it's fine to have a difference of opinion, I'm not talking about that. I mean all out bashing. All my life I've been caught in the middle and I f#*^%^g hate it. I mean, who am I supposed to stand up for? And saying "Hey, guys, don't fight" never works. So nobody had better get pissed at me for playing F^*(%&G Switzerland. Because that's the best solution I've got.

There. I just had to vent that.

I like Switzerland. If I had a dog, I would name her Heidi.

Yeah, I think that it's sort of pathetic and really not very productive...I'm with you on this as I have looked over some of this evenings "Discussions" ...if anyone could call it that...guess that makes us all a bit nutty then...

Unless you're planning to chat with Katers or someone else who's having a bit of a difficult time this evening...
Hugs to all!

And for the record, I will not hesitate to defend a friend. But when it's friend vs. friend...I can't do anything.

Maybe you should stop playing the "Mediator" then as you've already pointed out that it does not help the situation and it certainly seems to cause you some stress. It's one thing to be compassionate (and no one can fault you for that) but it's another to try and fight someone elses battles.

If your friends want to have altercations with each other then that's their business and it's THEM who has to suffer the consequences for their actions not you

You're right. I can't argue that. But I can't help that it hurts me. I can't comfort anyone in that situation. I want to help and can't. Worst of all is being turned on because I didn't stand up for "so and so" or I gave both of them hugs or whatever. Story of my life, friend.
