(no subject)
I removed someone from my flist for the first time in probably 2 years. I also removed her from Facebook. I think it's for the best for both of us. We have very different opinions and she clearly does not have any interest in my life. I respect that, but that's no point in staying on each others' friend lists, no matter the site, if that's the case.
Over the past year her behaviour towards me changed. I found her to be increasingly antagonistic and she has given me the impression that she has a problem with me, like she thinks I'm an idiot because I don't think just like her. An example is attacking me because I put in my last facebook status that someone at work has swine flu. The way it was written was if she thinks I’m so ignorant to consider it deserves mentioning.
I find some of her views very extreme, including what I found to be a very offensive quote she posted on her facebook status: “Auschwitz begins whenever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks: they're only animals." Which is basically saying all meat eaters have the potential to gas jews and the 6 million Jews that died in the holocaust (including my maternal great uncles and aunts, my grandfather’s first wife and his 3 kids. He and my grandmother were survivors) is on the same level as eating a burger. If she feels that way, then why is she friends with meat eaters? Why not go live somewhere where everyone is vegetarian, she’ll never have to mix with potential Nazis. I politely explained how I felt, but she took it as an attack and used the lame excuse that the guy who wrote it is Jewish.
She removed the quote, but never apologized and went on to try to convert me to vegetarianism by pm.
She always went on about how people are intolerant of her views, but she had no tolerance for mine.
So goodbye!
