Your point about MF favorites The ability to try to smooth over a certain amount of conflict by sending affiliative communication over the line, even while I'm still in conflict, and to be able to receive that behavior too. is spot on! I think the very first ones I clicked were for just this reason. It's an "I see you!" button. Following kaberett's excellent example, I now simply reply "I see you" when it's appropriate.
and probably when it's not, but let's not go there right now
