Facebook defriend-estation

Yesterday I got Facebook de-friended by a radical right-wing Republican. I hadn't written anything particularly political on Facebook--just mildly so-- but then a friend of mine wrote in with some stronger opinions, with which I agreed. Then my radical right-wing "friend" (he was a former neighbor of mine) wrote in yelling belligerently in all caps and telling my other (real) friend to move to Cuba. Oh dear, I thought. I don't want it to look like I won't tolerate difference of opinion on my Facebook page (I will, really), but I think I have to de-friend him now because he is being rude and below the belt and going too far. I always hate having to do something that will potentially offend someone, so it was with trembling fingers that I scrolled down my Friends page, looking for his name so I could defriend him. How relieved I was to discover that he had already defriended me! Relieved and a little bit... proud.
