Aunty is the poster I most respect on this forum

You make Aunty blush and giggle and drop her pencil.

I regret taking our conversation down that silly path

Well, I took it as more of an offhand remark than a moral position statement, and tried to respond in the same tone.

Divided loyalty is a serious subject, though. Unless a person hides in a cave, his loyalty naturally gets stretched over his multiple associations and group memberships. And it can be very difficult to know what to do when your best friends are fighting each other, or when a family member is seriously antisocial, or when your country is visiting war on the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

So Aunty also regrets the silly conversation, because to anyone who is currently entangled in such a loyalty dilemma, it probably wasn't very funny.
