Two people that I know, one of whom I know quite well, have had a disagreement with each other.
Normally I would not consider any intervention whatsoever. But, on this occasion I can see both points of view, and I can see why one of them particularly upset. In a way they are both "correct" but for different reasons.
Is there ever a good reason for intervening to help both sides, particularly when I think I can see exactly why they disagree and that it could be put right, IMHO.
Do I let the situation escalate further, which it might well do, or keep my nose well out of things, or just wait and see if the opportunity presents itself for placation of both sides. Or speak to someone who knows both people better than I do?
Presenting the other person's opinion to one of them might be easy, but the other one, is unlikely to acknowledge that I am trying to help.
