ladybug_archive[Error: unknown template qotd]I try to avoid it if at all possible, unless someone brings it to me. Then I can't be at peace until the matter is resolved, or at least, until it's attempted to be resolved.
I do like to participate in discussions of shows, episodes, etc., but if the tone starts turning controversial and nasty, I tend to stay silent and back out.
I try to never avoid a problem if I'm aware there is a problem. As much as I hate to become involved in conflict, once the existence of a problem has been made known to me, there is no point in trying to avoid it. I will not be able to stop thinking about it and being tormented by it as long as it's left hanging.
On the other hand, when it comes to things that cannot be changed, such as depressing things from the past or people who have their minds made up and don't want to hear another point-of-view, I prefer to sweep it under the rug and not think about it. Which isn't always healthy, and doesn't always work, but eh.

I do think there are people out there unfortunately that thrive on drama and sometimes trying to get through to those people really isn't worth the headache.
