I believe you were badgering and being disrespectful, yes. As one of my friends, yes I consider you a friend, I hope that we understand that we don't see eye to eye on things. If you didn't agree, it could have been simply stated and then left.
The post I made was filled with anger and all you were doing was poking me with a stick like a tiger in a cage and pissing me off. (Plus I was tired and I get crankier when tired and I forgot to eat which also leads to Cranky McCrankerPANTS.)
That being said, I didn't have any anger towards you but it is why I froze the comments. I was spun up and nearing "really pissed."
I still have the utmost respect for you. I still plan on taking you shooting. I still plan on getting a REALLY good hug from you now that you're back. (I bet you hug like a BEAST with those awesome "guns.")
I didn't think I was badgering. From my perspective, I was trying to be respectful. I like to give the reasoning behind my disagreements, and also figure out the logic behind why other people think the way they do.
To say, "I disagree" and then runoff without giving a shred of evidence for ones position has always struck me as weak and ignorant and so I try to avoid doing that.
I'm not angry at you either because I wasn't aware there was even anything happening. But now that I know, I'll avoid these kinds of situations in the future.
Yep, you were drawing things along. Poking every step of the way. You were trying to draw conclusions that I was merely monetarily motivated and were shooting at random at things.
In my opinion, if I see a friend that puts a post up that is filled with much obvious anger, I understand that they are upset. Even if I don't agree with what they are upset about, I will give them their space and understand and support them as best I can. I won't go in and start trying to pick apart things and force my view or make their point seem less valid. That comes with the respect thing. =)
P.S. I'll say this the same way I said it to another person that was part of my journal once. If you are not going to honor me with proper respect please see your way out of my journal. I won't think any less but I really don't want to have tit-for-tat whenever I have a rant about something. I don't mind respectful disagreeing but what happened was not respectful. I would never come into your journal when you are obviously mad or upset and try to poke you or goad you into being MORE upset. That's not what a friend does.

If my friend is presenting an argument based on what I perceive are invalid points, I want to know why.
