...keep from causing problems with my family by commenting on his utterly stupid church-related posts. Not knowing his blockheaded opinions is way easier than fighting the urge to respond to them.
Yaknow, it's not quite the same, but I had to un-friend an old HS friend that posts gooey, mushy, "inspiring" quotes and pictures all the time. I couldn't handle it any more and the proverbial $hit would hit the fan if I said "FUCK ME!!! Stop it!!!".
One of the surprising things about leaving for me was just how annoying all that stuff becomes, even from people you really like.
I've unfriended Aunts etc. and hidden family. Even though I never bore a testimony even once, and was a rebel TBMish, I just didn't foresee how annoying all that talk would become.
