In reply to the discussion: I need a good comeback for my delusional cousin on Facebook [View all]calimary
(90,392 posts)I've had to do it several times, myself.
When they come in on MY page and post their shit on MY page, when I NEVER go over to their pages and do likewise (hmmm, maybe I should rethink that one?), I just un-friend them.
Just ask yourself - "do I REALLY need this aggravation on my page, or in my LIFE for that matter?" No. There's enough of it on Pox Noise and hate radio and s.e. cupp and michael steele and whoever those other 'CON jerks MSNBC brings on to try to get the "opposing view" showcased during the andrea greenspan hour.
I've started deleting their posts, and then soon enough thereafter, I delete them.
Mind you, I posted a status awhile back, announcing that this is campaign season and I will tolerate NO oppositional posts on MY page, and any posts I find objectionable will be deleted. Just making that clear, up front and in advance.
They can post their crap ANYWHERE ELSE across the whole frickin' Facebook universe. But I do NOT want it on MY page. And it won't stay on MY page if they try posting any of it. And neither will they! And you should hear some of the whining and attacks I got for even posting that disclaimer. "YOU LIBTARDS TALK ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH! YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE AND A COWARD and fill-in-the-blank-here blah-blah-blah." They show their true selves when they're challenged or when YOU have the unmitigated gall to get back up in THEIR faces. They don't really want an argument. They want only a "yes sir/ma'am you're right, I give up and give in." I want only for them to keep their toxic shit to themselves and not squirt it all over MY page.
And if they still try to give me shit and call me more names, I just un-friend 'em. Don't need the aggravation anymore! MY page is a CON-FREE zone. It's MY page, after all. I can do that. And I do. Didn't used to want to go that way. Tried to reason with 'em and offer facts and history because chances are, I'm a little older than they are, so I've seen more, especially following politics. And it never does any good. So I just say "FUCK 'em" now. I don't even bother with 'em anymore. They're just not worth it. And that's the attitude I've just had to take. You can't save souls that resolutely refuse salvation.
