Couple of my RW gun nut friends moved onto my FaceBook page

As a former RW gun nut, turned LW moon bat/gun nut, I'd kinda dropped out of contact with a lot of RW gun nut friends. Just didn't see the point.

There was this Randian I worked with at a couple of previous jobs, and I periodically talked to him via Email. But that was different. He was so off his rocker and obsessed with RW conspiracies, it was purely sadistic sport to see if I could say a few words and get a conspiracy tale.

Anyone come of the closet, politically, and maintain civil contact with RW libertarians who are pretty far out there ideologically?

just block their posts. You can keep them as FB "friends" and not see what they post. It's pretty simple. I have done it to a couple of folks.

1). He likes to list his entire life & frankly I don't need to know "Just had a cheese sandwich."

2). The other posts & shares everything that she comes across and just floods my news feed.
