My opinion:

Question... do you all see it as disloyalty if someone doesn't get involved in the heat of things?

No. Example: Darrel and I have a good friendship going. We were on opposing sides of the issue. We respected each other views without an argument.

Do you see people who don't get involved as undependable or shallow?

Not at all! We're not all as passionate or have clearly defined feelings or thoughts on any given issue. Some of us are more vulnerable to some issues than others. It's okay to not get involved physically or emotionally. Your feelings are your own and only you know how to deal with them the best way. It's okay to know your own limits.

I didn't really feel an opinion either way. I just don't like to see people in pain.

Perfect reason to not get involved.

So it's rather conflicting to want to help people from both sides of an argument. Very confusing to me.

Willow, I know you're acquainted with the verse "You can't serve two masters" You can't help one side of an argument, much less two if you don't have a clearly defined opinion of either.

Do you think it is wise to stay out of these kinds of conflicts?

It sure is in your case!

Does getting involved just stir the pot and muddy the water more?

Yep! The waters would Really get muddied for you! "If you can't be part of the solution, don't be part of the problem."

Rest easy, Sweetie. The pot was stirred enough and the waters were muddy enough. No need to throw yourself into a fray that you have no feelings for one way or the other.
