Posted: 5/12/2007 12:38:26 PM | Whats wrong with having different opinions? Ok, so you might like each other and you'd probably have a lot of fun, and AGREE on a lot of things. But you are never ever going to agree on everything, and personally I think that it is quite deceitful to agree when in fact you don't.
There should be an element of respect for the others opinion. If thats not there then all your doing is pretending to be something you not.
Personally, I'd rather be with someone who gave a true version of themselves.

Posted: 5/12/2007 2:48:07 PM | Not so much attacking somebody, I'd like to think I'd never do that. But to have different views, and to trade them on the forums would be good fun I think, and more than a little stimulating.
Intellectual sparing is healthy and fun and indicates a vibrant relationship...or burgeoning relationship - whatever. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 6:43:34 AM | LOL @ this thread. I suppose me bumping it will probably prove something or another to deranged types and used as further 'evidence' but I'm crying laughing here at it 
OT - No I wouldn't argue with someone I fancied. If I liked someone and their beliefs were at loggerheads to mine then there would be no possibility of romance anyway. For example I hate racism and if an object of my affection was in any way shallow or bigotted then I would no longer hold a torch for them. However, I obviously wouldn't go out of my way to pi$$ off someone that I had romantic intentions for. | |

It can be more difficult when people from the forums have got together and then fallen out - thats when things can get really difficult and, sometimes, quite nasty!
Argued with him before we met, argued with him after we'd met and ripped him to shreds when we fell out.
And still argued with him after we made up.
Think it's what you call a love-hate relationship. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 1:22:32 PM | Argued with him before we met;
argued with him once we started chatting;
took him to task about a thread at our first meeting;
enjoyed lively forum and real life debates throughout our relationship;
have continued to enjoy real life debate since we decided that we were far, far better as friends (he cheats horribly by giving me vodka so I lose my thread even faster).
Miss him horribly from the forum now. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 2:18:46 PM | It depends upon my mood, I might do what Bleeding
Hearts says he does, or I might just point out the
fallacies in someone's argument and hope I will make them
squirm feeling foolish/belittled/stupid. If I get accused
of having done/said something which I never did, I naturally
will defend myself.
Not much debate goes on here though in reality or if it does
people seem to confuse arguing your point of view with being
deliberately slighted.
I show no favouritism whatsoever. | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 3:37:29 PM | You dont have to 'attack' people to disagree with them. The urge to be unkind to someone you dont particularly like is quite natural and we all know what it is like to have to bite our tongue on here sometimes to avoid getting banned!
I have to be honest here and say if I disagreed with someone I liked or fancied I would probably choose my words more carefully than if it was anyone else. | |

But you would go out of your way to pi$$ off someone that you don't have romantic intentions for? | |

Is that the mutually exclusive and bi-polar opposite of what I said?
And if so, should I therefore behave predictably like your ground-breaking rhetorical question is seeking to confirm?
No I like people I don't have romantic intentions for, I'm yet to have a romance on 'here' so to say anything different would be misleading as I have some good friends etc. | |

That's very admirable and different.
God bless the ambiguous for theirs is a freedom
few of us are born to realise.
It's probably just as well nobody has seen you
naked though otherwise you might not be as
popular as you imagine you are ??? | |

Posted: 12/24/2007 8:16:47 PM | I can play devils advocate to anyone so yes I could argue a case for against whatever depending on my mood.
On the other hand when I know I am right I don't care whose delicate feelings are offended | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 3:37:18 AM | there has been a number of posters who i have grown an effection for from a distance.
but if i have had a different viewpoint to them i would never hesitate to state it no matter what as long as i think it is adding to whats allready gone before.
otherwise ill follow the thread from a distance.
individuality is the spice of life.
and most of the time its easy to agree to dissagree.
is it allways that important?
if you become closer then theres allways the time to debate issues in private.
thats when you find out who you really rub along well with. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 8:58:45 AM | There's having a bit of high spirited fun & then there's intentionally trying to one up someone in a rather nasty territorial manner. Nothing wrong with enjoying some brain tickling fun but once it gets personal or turns to bulling... game over man, game over.
Keep it swift & sharp but never use it to stab.
