I am very wary of Facebook. Never joined, but have had folks I know send me e-mails wanting to be "friends", including one girl who worked for me 20 years ago.

I checked her out and she describes herself as a Liberal - favorite author Christopher Hitchens; favorite quote "God is NOT great".

No thanks, Hillary, we will not be "friends"

Incidentally I discovered that I had a listing - or whatever they call it - which gave my date of birth; marital status; religious persuasion and political affiliation. None of that information came from me.

I removed as much as I could and now see "'Churchillspirit' has changed her religious views."

So, you’ve “seen the light.” ;-)

The guy that put me on ignore was a “friend” only in facebook terms. I have no clue who the guy actually is. When I lived in Seattle I was in a lot of bands (bass and vocals). I befriended a few and suddenly I was getting friend requests from all their friends, and then from their friends, etc. I have a TON of musician friends (some very famous people) that I don’t know from Adam.

I consider them harmless, really. But this guy was such an “in your face, conservatives are idiots” guy that I couldn’t resist using my weapon of choice: language, to lay him out. Smiling, always smiling.

He never came across anyone with such staying power before. He would laugh at conservatives that would unfriend him as losers and “run out of arguments”, etc. So it was clear that his MO was to shame people into unfriending him. Always being polite, yet firm and steadfast, I forced him to cut his losses. I suspect all the likes were getting to him.
