CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

(she's a) maniac
I was going to ask if this friend has any social anxiety, poor self-esteem or if she's just a little "lost" when it comes to things like common sense or social cues.
I don't have a friend like this now, but I used to and it was both fun and draining to be around her. I, like you, felt that we would not have been friends if the other hadn't persisted. For me though, I thought she was quirky and fun and we might just hit it off. We related on superficial things (like theme park rides or shopping) and completely did not relate on other more important things (we had no mental connection whatsoever). What I got from her was that she didn't operate on the same level I did at that time and I do not mean for that to be an insult; different doesn't have to mean less than or better or worse. She was not the type of person I could talk to about anything of importance (feelings, fears, dreams, the economy); nothing that would lead to an actual meaningful friendship. Instead, it was all about her and the things that annoyed her. She was a bit socially awkward, but it wasn't even that that drained me. It was the fact that her idea of a friend was different than mine. Me being me, I pushed it along too until I could push no longer and just gave up. Eventually, we just had an "it's just not working" discussion.
