What is wrong with mates sticking up for one another?
IRL, if someone is in a scrape, their mates will jump in and sort it out and give help when needed. At least that's what Aussies tend to do.
On here though, it seems that if someone is in a flamewar or something, everyone just wants to stand back and not tell either one to 'pull their head in', or so called mates will refuse to get involved lest they be targeted themselves. I thought mateship was something that could be relied upon, and I know that mates IRL could back me up, as I would them. I consider quite a few people here to be mates, but I just can't work out why there is so much apathy toward helping when the shit hits the fan.
