I have never 'unfriended' a person in my life. Well, never intentionally anyway. . . until now. And I've got to say it has been an emotional experience. Why did I do it? Quite simply the 'friend' in question was totally unwilling to be reasonable. More specifically, the 'friend' chose to continuously post personal testimonials for Rush Limbaugh, gushing about the vast amounts of knowledge that were imparted through his radio broadcasts.
Now we certainly all possess our own personal quirks, preferences, tastes, likes and dislikes, and that I can accept and live with. Certainly my friends should be entitled to all these things and my perception (or acceptance of them) is most certainly totally irrelevant.
But no matter how much I agree or disagree with a friend on ANY matter, one factor that determines just how good or desirable a friendship really is, is how one chooses to address (or not address) these matters.
Furthermore, in this digital day and age, it is quite inconceivable that anyone would accept, let alone forcefully evangelize armed with items which are at the very least shall we say, "suspect"?
Maybe it's simply a matter of discretion. Anyway, in the future, one quality for which I will heretofore assess any potential new friends, will most certainly be discretion.
What do you think?
