Eh, I only skimmed the screen shots but what I did read looked innocent enough as far as the "friends" were concerned - actually I saw a lot less mindless butt-patting and frothing than I expected. Yeah if a friend is behaving badly I understand when people might try to be sympathetic without being encouraging of the behavior. There's a difference between "man that sucks" and "OMG YES I HATE THEIR GUTS IF I WERE YOU I WOULD EAT THEIR BABIES" bla bla bla
That being said, if a friend of mine was behaving as badly as skullgrrl (and yeah no matter what the provocation her responses here and at the other com are bizarre and unprofessional) I would either drop them or, if I felt they were worth it, try to tell them as politely as possible to cool it, or else ignore it.
