Donnie-----if you happen to be angry at someone, would you expect your friends to stop talking to that person? I dont think you would expect that. Each person can and will think for themselves, although you will find that there are some who follow suit and stop all further communication with their friends enemies. There are always more than one side of any issue. I talk to people that some of my chat pals dont talk to but I would hope they would not expect me to stop chatting with them. I do try to remain neutral. Its not always easy however. Just be your friendly self.

Actually it only involves the two people with the dispute. It is always best to hear both sides of the story then decide for yourself. Or just stay out of it completely.

Been there, done that. Sometimes when other who don't even know the facts condemn you based on hearsay, you can't help but give up trying to clarify and say, the heck with it, I am who I am.

Whether the chatter is friend or foe, when they get abusive to other chatters, they go in the iggy bin.

I think for myself and use my own judgment. If the person has said something to another that I may not agree it's between those two people and I try to stay out of it.
Change has come but not overnight.

I think for myself. I don't have a "leader" in this site to follow and take commands from. I'll talk to whoever I want to talk to and be friendly with whoever I want to be friendly with. It's ridiculous and childish to fight with someone or to give them the cold shoulder just because my friend is in a tiff with her / him.

It is sad to see any one acting in a rude, angry and selfish way. And we have all come across that behavior. It's not easy to ignore and keep the joy in yourself, but you must try and remember what the old folks used to say. "Consider the source" and "Don't stoop to their level". Another thing I like to remember is 'whatever goes around, comes around". I really understood it when I did somethings I was not proud of, and reaped the same kind of treatment. It was not enjoyable and I learned my lessons. Yes, lessons. It takes time to make a decision to change. Some people feel that they are fine the way they are, they feel that no one should say anything to them about their actions or attitude. If you are feeling unliked or as if someone is acting in anger towards you, you have to know that approaching that person in public will not solve the problem. Even a private confrontation won't solve it. The best thing to do is to continue on as your best self and ignore their rudeness and distance yourself from them. Trying to change another person is impossible. What often happens is your calm example with bear witness to someone else. You will have made another and often more friends by acting out of kindness and not being vengeful. And remember that people do the best that they can do at the time they do it. I would have to spend every hour of every day, trying to find the people that I offended and apologize to them. I can't do that, but I can begin to do better with the knowledge I've gained since then. Now, if I am aware that I have been rude or offensive, I offer the apology right then. But, I know it is up to that person to accept it or not. An apology does not always get forgiveness. I just know that I've done the best that I can do, so my mind is clear.
I hope that this lil tirade of mine had helped you. Just try not to dwell in a place built by someone elses actions. Find your own space and joy. It's all up to you. You're ok, in my book. 
What goes around comes around!
