Watch out for :fedposting: obviously.

My spouse works in medicine. A lib boomer doctor coworker of hers has been a family friend for decades. He and I would debate sometimes on Facebook. It never got too rowdy until about six months ago, maybe earlier. I can't remember what it was about, but I was probably going on and on about Biden sux, death to amerikkka, etc., etc. I think almost all of my Facebook friends, the vast majority of whom I had not spoken with in at least ten years, had muted me by then. But this guy came onto my wall and was just much more tenacious than usual. It sucked because I've known him forever, I genuinely like him, and I was literally in love with one of his kids for many years in school. The debate went on for several days. We never called each other names or insulted each other, but it was still pretty intense. My spouse's coworkers commented about it to her at work. I don't remember what they said, but I want to believe it was something like: "your unemployed commie husband is repeatedly bodying [respected doctor] on Facebook." She asked me to get off Facebook because she said it was endangering her job. I agreed to go, and actually I'm very happy that I did, since Facebook is a cesspit and echo chamber. Later we found out that the doctor was in the hospital with covid, and some nurses had seen him angrily typing a lot on his phone when we were debating. He recovered from covid AFAIK, while I have been off Facebook since then.

        Delete this post and use a throwaway with extremely vague terms. I didn’t know I was in the presence of a CELEBRITY!
