How do you go back and just have a virtual beer with someone you've wronged?

How do you like multiple groups of folks who are at each other's throats about something that seems distant, on which they both implicitly want you to pick a side, but you'd have that virtual beer with either of them?

I'm good at doing this in real life, I swear.

So you risk taking the double-negative (you're seen by each as endorsing the perceived evil of their foe, by not siding with them)?

They need to settle their conflicts between themselves like adults. You don't have anything to do with it. You're not endorsing anything, just continuing to be friends.

It's hard to convey that you value them as people/users, without endorsing their opinions/actions on/against each other.

I like my friends and they aren't perfect. If you are outright about not endorsing either side, nobody should get paranoid about secretly picking a side. You should also have a rule about not wanting to talk about the conflict.
