OK, I've managed to confuse myself.

Here's the model:

Articles
Posts
Tags

A tag has a many to many relationship with both articles and posts, so
a single tag object has a list of articles and a list of posts.  (nice
for searching by tags)

An article or a post has a list of tags.

That works just fine.

Now I am trying to create a little form wherein a user can type a tag
name in a single input box.  The associated action should either
associate an existing (matching) tag to the article, or create a new
tag if nothing matches, and then associate the new tag to the article.

A similar form for posts will do the same thing.

I've tied myself in knots trying to figure out the "right" way to do
this. Or even get it to work.

Am i giving myself unnecessary headaches using a many to many
relationship?  Should I just use a 1 to many and let there be many tags
with the same name?

cheers,
iceaxe
