Thanks! :D It can be frustrating at times but usually I just end up laughing at them all.
Yea definitely good on the debate with respect, I like those sorts of people who are up for the debate but also won't let it get too personal then get over emotional. O.o We got a lot of that during the Terri Schiavo spiel. I think sometime this week I might do a journal/blog thing about the Libertarian movement in California because right now we've got some of the conversatives and libertarians on our forum just getting into pissing matches about everything. We've got some of the really hardcore conservatives getting mad over the libertarians with the lack of "patriotic-ness" in supporting the troops and whatever. I think its more of a government than anything else but Californians realize it a bit more because neither side of the political spectrum is really getting anything done right now. :p But I digress...
Anyway, I have lots of friends of varying degrees and I hate it when people get so bent out of shape when they realize that you may be on the opposite side as they are. Character of the person is the most important thing and friendship comes first, but if someone wants to put beliefs and certain things first in how they choose friends then that's a bummer. I think things that people share in common is the best.
Though I do have a question for you, I notice a few members like to bring out the political rant and discussion at the AFF forum. I don't like mixing my two hobbies very much so I neglect/decline to involve myself on those threads. However, it seems like some people thrive on knowing that information from the peers they write with. I guess its like how you don't want to really share the Auronlu story with some of your friends because they aren't into that. Am I just insane or possibly noticing something about some of the members? I dunno, I can understand the discussions about the censorship of certain materials but it all seems rather one sided and then develops into a free-for-all bash fest at one point.
