You will regret it. But you did the right thing in writing down your thoughts and getting them out there. You vented and should now have more clarity.

I would just post a response that it is clear you no longer share any core values such as truth and transparency with them and as a result will be de-friending them on Facebook but wish them well.

It is taking the moral high ground even though you want to hit them over the head with a brick.

I have de-friended most of my FB friends that reveal they have no interest in facts or having an honest debate about issues on which we may differ. It just lowers my blood pressure to not be reading and viscerally reacting to their posts.
