Friends want us to fight the good fight, they view the D-world from a place of what is right, and what is wrong. What is fair and just. The fight the short term battle for us from their outsider, observers position. And bless them that they do because we need their love and support to get through this sitch. They do know our long term goal and strategy that we are using with Dbing.
I don't disagree with your assessment of the situation or the ridiculousness involved. However the WW or WAW in my humble opinion does tend to play that card often, and they tend not to be known for their sense of forthought and consideration.
Sorry you and your little lovelies at in this position Mahhhty. They are so lucky to have you.
