Are you ever an ally of a poster in one thread and their enemy in another?
Happens all the time to me in DU. More often than not it's in GD, but it happens here too. We just play roles in here. Thread by thread !

2. We're only human... if we agreed on everything all the time,
it'd be more bland than a skunk souffle...

3. Well, nobody agrees on everything...
so I think it's perfectly logical for you to support somebody on one issue, but be completely against them on another. I'm sure it's happened to everybody on DU at least once.
:hi:

5. I disagree!
You are my opponant in this thread! :P

Hell, I've called somebody out on douchebaggy behavior in one thread (and used the word douchebag to do so), then exchanged friendly PMs a few days later in reference to another thread.

6. Surprisingly often.
I usually stay the hell out of GD, though. Not exactly a hothouse of sanity over there.

7. All the time, and sometimes I feel bad.
I don't hold grudges from one forum to another, so I may be aggressive to someone in one forum and then joke with them in another forum (sometimes in the same day). I don't take politics very personally, so heated debates are fine with me and I don't hold a grudge with someone who debated in good faith, no matter how heated it gets at the time.

I also feel that, here on DU at least, most of our disagreements aren't over what to do, but how to get it done. For the most part we really are all on the same side here, so festering grudges are silly.

9. More than likely. Nobody agrees on every topic.
Of course there is that whole can't-remember-who-the-vast-majority-of-DUers-are thingy:crazy:

12. I don't argue with people that I consider my friends here.
If I disagree, I usually bypass the thread. Everyone disagrees on some things, but I don't want to get into a pissing match with someone I care about.

15. Yep, that's what I do
Except for LostinVA, I slam her on guns and the DP all the time, because she's clearly wrong.

14. I have no idea
That would require me to actually remember things like... what threads I've posted in and... who all you people are and... I just really don't have the ambition.

18. No. Everyone agrees with me about everything.
Therefore, they're always my allies.
