There are some truly unhinged people where I am but there are some real gems too. Seek out the gems, leave the dust.

Some people have no home training - respect each others opinions and/or disagree without coming off as batcrap crazy or overly defensive.

Use your FB options so the suspects can't see what you say, delete every unhinged comment or just continue to post rebuttals and counter proof to their nonsense.
