8. I was unfriended in a nasty skirmish

After making an innocuous comment about Akin to the effect that he couldn't find a uterus if he had a roadmap, the person lit into me telling me how stupid I was and how he would run circles around me in a debate on the subject of reproductive rights. I refused to take the bait which appeared to outrage the person. I say person. This was a close relative. He worked himself into such a rage over it that it got personal. So personal he unfriended, blocked and appears to have deleted his FB account entirely.

I pretty much didn't do anything but witness the rightwing meltdown.
