I want to see their points and if they have any valid ones.  It's hard because most of the commentors and articles are centered around how women are evil creatures inacable of loving and evilly withholding sex for large amounts of money.

And there are

Ok you might not understand this, but... most people have different spheres in their life. Coworkers and friends are often different spheres. You can confide in your friends, trust your friends, they are close, you can vent, act a bit silly, joke around, and sometimes act in ways that aren't proffesional around them.

Coworkers may be nice to you, care about you, may even become friends, but mostly it's a proffessional work related relationship.

One normally keeps their PERSONAL life out of work, and does not share their personal life with coworkers.

Sometimes one may share a bit of their upper personal life with coworkers, but people generally do not share as much intimate knowledge with their coworkers as they do their friends.

For instance, when one works with a coworker, goes to see a medical proffessional, interacts with a client... that is a proffessional relationship, and different than going for coffee, or crying on a friends shoulder, or going on vacation with a person.

I think I would tell my hypothetical 5 year old that in a professional relationship the focus is on getting something done, while in friendship the focus is on interacting with the person for the sake of the person, not the task.

Class president and site mods involve proffessional not personal relationships, because there is a task to be done, rather than a focus on interpersonal interaction.
Yes, I know you talk to people in those positions, but mods have responsibilities to the forum, rather than just talking to people for he heck of it.
