This weekend is now sorted thanks to some fantastic friends, both furry and non-furry.

Special thanks go to alexfox for putting up with me on Friday and harlequeen for offering. I'll be in Cambridge for the meal before heading over to Alex's later in the evening. I'll be civil to the devout Catholic guy but I think that friendship has run its course. People change, they evolve, and this sort of thing sometimes happens. And I won't deny that since 2001 I have changed too. The mature thing to do is to tolerate him for the evening, avoid this particular topic, and then casually walk away with minimal fuss. Different views I can take - many of my friends think completely differently to me - but downright intolerance is different. Just like I wouldn't socialize with a racist, I don't want to socialize in this instance either.

My friend in London understands my view about Portsmouth and will meet me once he returns in the early evening. Then we'll go out for a while before retiring to his for the evening.

I don't know if this series of events has shown me up to be stubborn or principled. I an a very tolerant guy but I am intolerant of the intolerant. Confronting my past - and the dick at Portsmouth - is definitely a bad idea but my Catholic friend is a tough one. I do think I have made the right call though, I'm just sad it resulted in so much hassle. But there is something honourable about sticking to principles and in this case I do believe I am right.

Thanks to everyone again for helping me out, it's very much appreciated.
