Yes I think I would. I would be more likely to fluther a familiar face I see here, than add them as my friend on Answerbag.

I never had anyone on AB that I didn’t get along with, at least I don’t think so. There were people on my friends list that I didn’t agree with all the time. I’m here for a new beginning, so I’ll add anyone on my Fluther who wants to be :) BTW I was ‘anyone is feeling pretty’ in AB. Wanted to change that up a bit.

New site…clean slate.

I must say, however, that I paid more attention to the Q&A than the people who posted them. Whatever difference of opinion I may have had with anyone was left with the question or answer.

In my time on AB, I met a few I did not get along with. However, once someone changed their avatar and name. We did not get along after the change. We all have likes and dislikes. Those I cannot change.

I didn’t even think about that. I’m just happy to be here. I love seeing my old friends from AB and can’t wait to meet lots of new ones here.

Generally I would, as adding someone simply means you have the same interests, not necessarily agree with everything they say. But I did have a fluther friend who made a nasty comment I did not forgive and I have since removed her from my fluther and blocked her from all other sites (facebook etc). I’m generally a forgiving person, but for her I decided to make an exception.

I just add everyone who adds me on both Answerbag and Fluther. If I had a negative interaction with someone, it was most likely because of a question, an answer, or a comment. There are very few exceptions.

Heck yeah! I have had heated discussions with people I have disagreed with. The key is, that either in the discussion or through PM’ing, we have ended up respecting each other in spite of our differences.
I am a Christian but there is a huge atheist population here on fluther. I think most of them respect me because I am not afraid to speak my mind, but I respect their right to have different opinions, and I don’t try to proselytize them. I also don’t buy into all the right wing fundamentalist hate mongering and Christians like me are often scared to speak out against other Christians when they hate. I think my willingness to call other Christians out when they do that earns their (the atheists) respect. I also expect my atheist friends to treat me with the same respect I give them and here on fluther they really do.
If you know people here and look at my fluther you might be surprised to see right wing fanatics right next to left wing fanatics. There is some grain of truth in just about every-one’s point of view. If you respect that, and keep an open mind, you can be friends with a huge variety of people, without totally agreeing with them and while maintaining you principals.
