Suppose you have a friend and you know your friend is building a network by asking people through massive private message to join under your friend's referral (including you).
You don't have faith/share the same thought on this 'network building', because you are scared of anything being installed into your computer.
What would you do? Would you express your feeling towards all the friends on that personal messages, or would you just keep quite and let your friend do what your friend wants/has to do?
Can you be considered a friend if you don't share and express your thoughts towards it, or would you be considered a foe, just because you don't share the same thoughts and you tell about it to everyone by replying the message?

well i think if someone wants to be your friend sincerely,she/he will understand you and not pushing you to do something.. if you don't like someone,you should let him now so everything will be clear and you can live happily ever after without a load!;)

There is no pushing here, noviare. :)
But then sometime this kind of thing could make you see people in another perspective. Like for instance, perhabs others would think one is too straight forward or mean. While the other one was just trying to achieve a goal and willing to risk anything by telling only half truth, to 'promote' something (for instance).
O well.. life. Every kind of people.
Thanks for stop by, my friend.

I would say, "To each his own." Just because they want you to do something, you don't have to do it. What's good for the goose may not be good for the gander!
I would not email the whole list to express my feelings. I would not respond period. I wouldn't think you would be considered a foe, for not sharing the same thoughts.
If a friend won't be your friend because you don't want to do what they want, were they ever really a friend to begin with?

Ah, this is quite nice. It's just slip of the tounge, all of the sudden I expressed my feelings, just because I thought as friends, we should remind each other when something is fishy or not and being honest. Tell the truth with love. But then again, playing safe probably much better, eh Jodi.
I just got the feeling, that seems like these days, people think that if you are my friend you shouldn't against me or you should just be quite because I don't need anyone to say anything except if you want to follow me, follow me, if you don't by all means, I don't give a darn thing.
Where I thought, when you are my friend, I wouldn't mind my friend to be honest, eventhought the truth (probably) could hurt (for example).
Again thanks Jodi. ;)
