@very-rusty saidGet a grip. Now that is a personality flaw right there. You should realize that the you there means a general you and not you personally.
You don't know me well enough to know I don't brown nose to anyone, I say it as a see it! I never walk away from a situation, perhaps I should in certain cases, call it a weakness if you wish. I look at it as a strength.

The point is if people need to brownnose to keep a person, then that person is not a friend and is best left alone.

On the second point I agree one should never brown nose to anyone.
Would you call agreeing with someone to save an argument brownnosing?

@fmf saidUnlike a lot of the other people [with similar political views to me] who disliked the thorny and robust Wajoma, I quite liked him and learned from him.
Other examples: Wajoma, Rajk999, Sleepyguy and sh76.
He was very blunt and very straightforward - like a kind of Roy Keene of libertarianism.
I liked his consistency, his tenacity, and many of his brutal responses which often used to point to the difference between his view and the opposing view in such an instructive way.
We played some chess and had some good conversation. I found much to admire in him.
@very-rusty saidCan you be sure that all your talk of brown-nosing might not indicate some strong but repressed desire?

How are you saving an argument by agreeing?
What is "saving"?
@very-rusty saidThat doesn't explain why you're so fascinated with the idea of sniffing butts or rubbing your nose in them.
NOT saving as in an investment or saving money rajk.
We talking about avoiding an argument by simply not disagreeing! 🙂

Who's butt do you see me sniffing?
I think you are still full of hot air changing your name didn't help your persona at all! 😛 🙂

@very-rusty saidI guess it all depends on whats at stake. Sometimes it's not worth to argue, it but if someone has to continually bend to suit someone's opinions that that friendship is a failure. This happens with married people pretty often. Personally, in matters of important principles I rather not budge.

People say things on here they would never say face to face with the person they are talking to. There are exceptions of course, but if everyone is going to get along you do have to bend a little. You don't have to comment on something just because you don't agree on it, but that is left entirely up to your own discretion.

-Removed-Which is where we agree to disagree, I don't believe clan members should banter with each other and you feel it is ok. I don't think either of us will change our minds on that. Me especially after close to 13 years in Clan. Perhaps my time is coming to an end, time will tell, until then we have a job to do this year.
