Think I'm starting to lose it here
Might not be posting for a while.
There's a faction that feels they should be able to be as offensive and obnoxious as possible, that this will prove who my friends are. Trouble is I don't have that many to begin with, the ones I do have aren't used to such things (they're starting to swear too).
They are NOT supposed to be posting, but they have tried to hijack things and take front several times today, even infecting a post I made with cursing and such.
Do any of you have this trouble? I feel like I'm hosting a civil war here.

I've often had 'contraversial' methods, but we find things go a lot smoother if I hear "Hmmm, you may have a point," rather than a plain "You can't do that" knockback. The latter usually just pisses me off and makes me worse, and I'm nowhere near as tempermental as the stereotypical "angry alter".
(and tbh, they may well have a point. It's up to you to reach a compromise, I suppose)

So we let him join a couple of LJ communities where being a complete, er, jackass, was perfectly acceptable. In some cases, the more obnoxious, the better.
Just a thought. Not sure if that would be right for that faction of yours.

I don't mind swearing. Heck, I can sound really horrible if I get going about something.
