Don't get me started on Facebook! I created a FB because my old HS friends insisted that I did. For me, who lives across the world, it seemed like a good way to keep up with and reconnect with old friends. This worked to an extent; my old 'gang' or in our case my old 'lunch table' has reconnected and we're all emailing and calling and texting and whatever and that's great. But damn, it's like HS ALL over again, the SAME people who were the equivelent of jocks and cheerleaders (we didn't have cheerleaders and our sports teams were pretty crappy)are still, 25 freaking years later, behaving in the same way. I actually feel sorry for them, it's hysterical. Now about 10 of my FB friends play Farmville, me included (not religiously though, I just don't have the time) and I was pretty annoyed when 'Jenny Cheerleader' started ragging on our Farms, joined that group, and others followed. I keep telling spouse I'm gonna leave FB and he keeps telling me just to ignore Jenny the Cheerleader and Joe the Jock but man, it's been pretty hard!!
I wouldn't defriend someone who joined that J&J group, babe, simply because some peoples religious beliefs and/or the way they were raised heavily influences their views on homosexuality, morality and whatever but that doesn't mean they are a bad person. You did the right thing by keeping them as a friend, especially since you like this person.
