There's being an asshole and there's being an asshole. Yelling at someone because they've frustrated you to no end is bad. Yelling at someone because they keep getting themselves into the same messes over and over and over again, and chronically complain about it but don't change their behavior (there's no one here I am thinking of when I make that statement) is not being an asshole, sometimes people just need a kick in the ass. A true friend delivers that kick.

me? I appreciate and need someone to keep me in line and call shennigans if I'm espousing bullshit.

Amen -- a community is about being friends. Frienship is about being honest. I dropped off another site because it drive me absolutely freakin' nuts that no one would call some of the sympathy whores on their bullshit. Co-dependency is bad. A true friend tells it like it is.

Politics inspires strong opinions, here, the politics forum here is a little boring, way too much of a lovefest. I love it when the gloves come off, and you can really lay into someone's opinion... you aren't belittling them, it's their insipid ideas that are the problem. If you can seperate the two, then it's fun. Dont call me names but I don't care what you call my ideas.
