If you consider someone a friend would allow people to trash talk them? And if you do what is your definitely of a friend and does it include loyalty?

No, NEVER! There was someone on this site who "trash-talked" my best friend on here over an old posting. She read into it a meaning that wasn't there, no matter WHAT she thought. He told me, I went after her (I told her to mind her own business and not to call my friends any names)and reported her for harassment to another SW member. The monitors agreed and warned her. Both of us blocked her - BUT NOT before she accused him of starting another post with MY SW NAME ON IT.

My definition of a friend? Someone who supports you and defends you. That is the true definition of loyalty. Someone you can trust with your last dollar or your last cookie - you'll always get either back.
