Reply #54: Yes, I have lost friends. In fact, I was ostracised from one

[CaTeacher]

group that I belonged to (a gardening club--would you believe that all the people were wingers?) Weird and crazy. I didn't need the so-called friends anyway.

However, with my family--I love them--blood is thicker than water--and I would never do anything to lose my relatives who are RW. So, with them I am more gentle. I love them, they love me, and nothing will ever change that. These are people who have been there for me in thick and thin and are the resason that I am the decent person who I am--so if we have our disagreements--we all still care about each other.

To everyone else (non-blood related to me)--hey I will not be gentle with you! If I disagree--you are going to hear about it. If you are an a-hole--well then I don't want you in my life anyway.
