I may have let myself down yesterday. It's a shortcoming of mine, to be intolerant of people when they just flat out ignore important elements of what I say, and which I go through such terrific pains to clarify my position on. It is an old quote from the 19th Century that states; “Never discuss religion or politics with those who hold opinions opposite to yours.” It is a very wise observation.
A lady came at me on Fakebook yesterday. She went on and on. I couldn't read it all and... that is the case when people send me voluminous commentary. I scan it and get the gist. I also look for the emotional quotient. She was outraged that someone she had respected and admired for years would come out as a 'supporter' of Trump, who she CLEARLY despises. I wasn't very kind to her, and this is where I let myself down. Sure... I can justify having responded as I did; I get ticked off when someone bypasses all of my efforts to explain and elucidate a position taken. I get even more ticked off when they brand me as something I am not. I've had a problem with slander and being taken out of context my whole life, because I have been a victim of these assaults.
