Do you ever want to defend someone, or stand up for someone else because a person keeps dishing crap at them publicly? But you don't because you realize it will just open a bigger can of worms?
I hate that. It's happening to a good friend and I'd love to tell the offender off in knife-edged fashion (all of which would be valid and true) but like I said: bigger can of worms.

knife-edged fashion.

i remember in high school this guy was picking on this chubby kid named brian. i had known brian since kindergarten and i had watched him get picked on from even way back then. it made me so mad that i leaned over the bully and told him that if i ever hear him say anything else to brian i would beat the shit out of him. i'm not a big guy but i was so pissed of that the bully knew i was serious and i never heard him say anything to brian again.

In this situation I have, the person could be put in their place so effortlessly. They might choke on their silence afterwards.
They just won't stop calling this friend out on myspace, where many friends-in-common see both of them. While some of what they say could seem true to them, the stuff they've done dwarfs anything my friend has done.

(Dec 7 05, 13:38)actually I've done that sort of stuff before. Told people off at a local bar or told someone to hang on or I'd bust their chops and let the cops deal with it later.

It is serious, it just also takes place on myspace.
Honestly, that doesn't dumb it down. Taking it to myspace is just an additional outlet for this person to do and say things they are in public amongst common friends. The same people are on myspace.
They don't directly call out the person, but it's obvious what they're talking about, and who. Everyone knows.

You are potentially entering a ridiculously peurile game.
Arguing and being offended by name calling on myspace? omg its laughable, why dont they send a message out saying someone is spreading malicious nonsense and they have had enough, and so they are closing down the account?
Or don't tell me - they 'can't live' without their silly myspace

Are heated arguments actually hotter than normal arguments? Like, does the temperature go up?
- honest0
what scares you more, the initial strike of the match or the heat of the fire which follows? It takes a lot of courage to stand up to a bully but if you feel badly for your colleague you'd better do something about it before they commit suicide.
- mattyd0
can't you delete myspace comments?
- jDs0
ok - so I'm going to guess you're in Middle School, Junior High, or High School.
How is this mysoace aspect different than them spreading the bullshit to everyone with whispers..?
Take the high road my friend, don't stoop to their level.
Let me tell you a little story - I was cornered in a stairwell in high school by 4 hockey jocks, after the first one clocked me in the face, I got up and pulled my skate out of the straps on my pack and started swinging. I made contact with one's face with my trucks and sent him to the hospital. They overwhelmed me and kicked the shit out of me. I had a broken collarbone, a cut on my head, 2 black eyes, and a cracked rib. I also went to the hospital.
Plenty of kids walked by in the stairwell, avoided the melee, and went to class. none ever helped me. I transferred to a private school the next year.
Noone ever wins this shit my friend, but my point is - take the high road - defend yourself but invite nothing - hold your head up. tomorrow is, for you and your friend, another day.
When you play the game you validate it.
