I realllyyy should not let this get to me.

I really shouldn't,and for the longest time, I have not. I've over looked alot, but lately its becoming MUCH harder.

I have a friend on FB. We have also talked over the phone too. I've "known" her for roughly 10yrs now. She has always been a bit..extreme in her beliefs. Ok, I can deal with it mostly, but, she is pregnant with her 5th child. A boy. She has 4 girls. I am happy for her, I am, they always wanted a boy.

But, she, lately..and I'm trying to go with it just her being pregnant, but she has been putting a heck of a ton of stuff on her FB about how wrong people are.

If you bottle feed you are wrong and making your baby unhealthy
If you had your baby in a hospital you are setting yourself up for "rape" and no dr. really cares about you or the baby, or, and its wrong to have a baby in the hospital.
If you circumsize you are wrong
If you spank you are wrong
If you vaccinate you are wrong
If you dont eat organic you are wrong.

I don't mean she just feels it is wrong, she will TELL you that you are wrong and should change. She goes off the deep end and will try and chew people out if their opinion is different and tell them how wrong they are and how can they think that way, how can they do that to their kids, they shouldn't have kids, or should have them taken away. how they haven't done their research...etc etc etc.

Now, I am hoping that, she has gone over board because she is pregnant, but because normally, this stuff never came up unless she was provoked, but lately she is doing the provoking and its everything I can do to not go off on her. I guess we will see how it goes after she has the baby......

rawr....I just needed to vent really.

Personally, I'd ignore her rants, if not unfriend her if it was getting to me that much. Life's too short for such aggrivation.

Hopefully it is hormones and will subside after the birth If not, she will be one of those lonely people who have few if any friends. Some people call it opinionated some call it a control freak--either way it will get on your last nerve.

When you finally break and tell her what you think, she will go away mad. Not a bad thing. BTW, love your avatar.

normally I do ignore. but lately its been every day, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day that she is going off on something. I'm thinking of hiding all her posts and then seeing how it goes after the baby is born and shes had time for her hormones to straighten out somewhat lol.

She has been deleting people left and right, some of the convos I have seen and they really didn't say anything bad, just disagreed with her. So yeah, I really do see her pushing everyone away from her if she keeps it up. I mean im ALL for opinionated people, but she takes it over the line I think, lately. Just because someone disagrees doesn't mean you have to be nasty to them and call them names.

and thanks! I use to be an ebay nut case.

Oh, but that's how anti-vaccine/organic feeders are, be it k9 or human!
It's not enough to just hold a belief, they have to proceed to push those beliefs on the rest of us.
I don't care if you don't vaccinate - dogs or kids - (well, if we talk about herd immunity then that's a horse of a different color) but don't sit there and tell me I'm wrong for doing those things.
Those folks are the ones who think they are the only ones who put any thought in their decisions so the rest of us are idiots who can't tell sh** from shinola and want us to do what they do as well.

Anyway.
/rant.
LOL

Here is my opinion on FB...

If I "friend" you on FB then I've invited you into my home. You are a guest in my home. I have no problem with an intelligent debate. So before shoving your beliefs down my throat, remember you are sitting at my kitchen table...in the kitchen...where there are sharp and/or heavy objects.

And at any point, I can escort you to the door by "unfriending" you.

i vote for hiding the posts, i had to do that with all the farmville people on fb, just don't have time for that virtual life stuff.

[Jax08]

Katieliz...you can block apps so you don't get those requests without blocking the people.

[GSDolch]

katieliz, I think I am leaning toward that and then hopefully she will go back to her self, if she doesn't..then I guess I got answer on what to do. lol.

Jax, I think the reason im having more difficult time with this is that, yeah she is an online friend, but she has been so for almost 10yrs now and we have talked over the phone and at one point eventually wanted to meet IRL if possible. I don't want to throw it away but dear gods, the women has gone off the deep end lately and has said some pretty harsh stuff to people.

I mean I guess you never know. People have stopped being friend with someone IRL over issues, even though they knew each other their whole lives. *le sigh*
