There is some serious tension in my department. There are 3 of us with the same title and our manager. One coworker D is having some issues with our manager. Manager is aware and from what I hear is trying to talk with him. He's been venting to me a little over the last month or two and it's been mostly innocent. I was comfortable just being a listening ear without getting involved as long as he kept it light. Our other coworker J started in December. D and J are like oil and water. They've antagonized each other since day one. But now, with D's tension with our manager, she's coming to me too. So now they're both venting about each other and our manager.
It kind of blew up last night. Manager left for the day and D starting yelling about her. I walked out not wanting to be involved. J stayed and she claims to have tried to calm him down. Apparently there was a witness to it after I left. So it will come back to the department, I'm sure, as there were some REALLY nasty things said.
How the fuck do I stay out of this? I've already started distancing myself and my conversations on both sides. Is there anything else I should be doing? I'm really good at keeping my head down and not getting involved, but I want to cover my ass. I'm not concerned about losing my job, but I want to ensure that there's not question about that.

UGH. This makes me so uncomfortable.

I promise I'm not try to make excuses. I know HR and my boss are likely the best and safest (for me) options. I just hate being in the position.
