Welcome to the Dark Side.

I am your friend and yes I have a few friends that use to be my enemy but in time I learned to over look that and we too have an understanding with each other and know that we view something in a different light. Hugs!

Being able to overcome differences with someone and become friends makes you the better person. It shows real integrity and strength of character to set aside bitterness and hard feelings and see past old hurts.

Standing up for what you believe is truly right, and not just pandering to your ego and proclaiming it a "cause" is the sign of someone who is mature and well balanced. Being able to admit that it is just your ego that was hurt, and that no universal crime has been committed takes guts and a level of honesty some don't possess. And I see that you are not guilty of such weakness.

You are a good person and I'm glad for the chance to get to know you.

I think befriending a person that was once your enemy is one of the greatest feats a person can accomplish.
I don't think it makes you a bad person, just the opposite, it shows character and dignity, especially when you take the first step.

People that fight backhanded and just use people and then ditch them, do't want friends, they want a fan club.
People like this will never know true friendship, which is why they are probably so bitter and hateful towards people that have the kind of friendships they will never achieve.

You know you have my respect and my friendship and a lot of us on the dark side sometimes disagree with each other, but that doesn't hurt our friendship in the least.

I'll respond. We haave all been labeled anyway.

Luke, welcome to the darkside...oh sorry.

I don't think it's a bad thing to befriend an enemy. But you will probably be guilty by association. At least to some people.

I'm honest and expect the same from my friends. As many know, that has not won me many friends here. At least I know the friends I DO have aren't total fakers.

Dragon, I'm proud to call you and your wife friends. Sure we had some real battles, a couple doozies no doubt, but ya'll always fought fair and said what was on your mind and didn't back down. I could never think less of someone for being able to set aside all of that aside and offer friendship. It takes integrity and courage. Well done!

SO we are the Darkside huh?

Oh okay, that must explain what I been feeling! It's the force!

Shazbat, Nanoo nanoo!

I think you already know the answers to the questions you asked here, but still you made me smile, maybe because i never belonged to any "pink" side in my life. lOl.
So no, i do not think that it is bad becoming a friend to someone that was your enemy, because i never see that person or others as enemies.
I am not at war, and i do not see a winning or losing side.
I think that i met some of my best friends after a first connection that was not so usual, they had their opinions i had mine, and we ended up yelling our self in a very interested discussion that all of the people that were around us, do remember until this day. Lol.
About the other question, i think that other people would think that i am guilty by associating with a person that they think is guilty in some things. But i do not really care. who are they to judge me or the other person?
There will always be people that think that you are wrong, because your opinion is different then theirs, and you say them out loud, but i do not really care bout that.

If you judge every person by what they believe, even if they don't agree with you, then you may be mission out on knowing some truly wonderful people.

One of my former neighbors openly confessed to being a pagan, and I'm a Christian, but we got along, we learnedto agree to disagree, and focused on what we had in common. It doesn't mean that I didn't pray for her, I just learned not to talk about certain things.

We agreed to isagree.

Mooch

I think it takes a big person to accept the faults and mistakes and differing opinions of others and still be friends inspite of it.
I don't think you are guilty by association. Like I always say to my son... "YOu can be friends with whomever you choose, so long as you choose to use your legs to walk away from things you shouldn't be doing. Just because they are your friends does not mean you have to agree with everything they do."

No, You are not bad! I think you found out you missjudge this person and saw he was a person worth being friends with. I think that shows a very strong person who can see he was wrong and go in the opposite direction and make things right!

I am very impressed with you

There is no secret that you and eye have had many problems. We have had words many times and through it all I still held respect for you for standing your ground. See even though we disagreed we did so openly with eachother and never held that secret. I extend a hand of friendship out to you what you do with that is soley up to you.
