Alla:

Tee hee, totally Kemper. I had seen quite a few hints that we may 
have 
similar philosophies as well (at least in politics I am pretty sure).

You know it is funny how online friendships develop in the group 
like 
this ( not that I actively participate in any other group but this, 
lol). Of course one knows that different views on literary character 
does not necessarily mean that you and your opponent in the debate 
say 
about Snape ;) cannot become good friends in RL. I mean, really what 
one thinks about Snape is a tiny tiny percentage of what the person 
is, hehe.

But while in RL you cannot help but get to know the people as whole, 
more or less and know whether friendship can be formed or not, it is 
rather hard sometimes to get past the heated disagreements about 
characters to get to know the person on the other side of the debate.


That is why my first friendships in this group became with the 
people 
with whom I at least had **something** in common, HP wise, LOL.

I mean, I knew that I agreed with them, I at least had a starting 
point for conversation offlist, I could genuinely admire their 
writings, hehe.

But then there are people who are deeply deeply Snape fans ( sorry, 
keep talking about Snape, because that is what I am most often 
arguing 
about, lol), but who are so funny, do not take themselves too 
seriously, can always take a look at the opposing POV, sort of try 
it 
on and I love them, oh man, I love them.

That is how I fell in love with Potioncat's writings, that is how I 
started talking to Ceridwen ( oh my goodness, they should do stand 
up 
comedy - so funny they are) and I actually think you are also 
hilarious Kemper. 

There is also Ginger and Susan ( well, I should not count Susan, 
since I used to agree with her on almost everything, lol) and so 
many others :)

No, I would never agree with you about Snape, but yeah, I have a 
strong suspicion that I would find plenty to admire in you as person 
in RL.

That is why this group is also very useful, I think, people who 
disagree on Main, can find something in common and maybe get to know 
each other better.


I mean, honestly, I love to argue, I used to argue much stronger 
than 
I do now, but for all my love of arguing I am honestly "can't we all 
just get along" type of poster, hehe.

No, not become best buddies, hehe, I do realise that it is not 
posible, but I am a firm believer that it is absolutely possible to 
maintain friendly posting relationship with everybody or at least 
with 
almost everybody.

Hee, have no clue why I felt the need to type this up - some time 
ago I had similar conversation with one of my bestest buddies here, 
but I just did :)
