An erstwhile GC member (who is pretty liberal) and one of my older sorority sisters who is a tad to the right of John Birch got into it one day. Don't know who all remembers that but it was rather amusing. This older sister is the only one who has ever said anything that I've had to delete on my wall, and I've done it several times. She's very...I suppose "strident" is the word. I'm sure she would pitch a bitch if I deleted her though (I have no problem imagining that she keeps a spreadsheet full of her FB friends) so I just hide her in my feed.
