I debated whether to post this here or on CS ... it's neither offensive nor sucky (IMO) but it was rather funny.
First: I have a still shot from a Harry Potter movie on my Facebook page.
Second: I was taking part in a Facebook discussion on the whole Duck Dynasty thing (NOT trying to start a debate on it here!)
I was being polite and diplomatic. I swear it.
... until I was blasted as being obviously "into" witchcraft and thus WHY did I consider myself eligible to take part in a Christian debate??
At that point polite went out the window. I said wasn't it interesting that he recognized the still shot, if he was so opposed to witchcraft. I added that I had a lot of respect for the OP who had started the discussion (true), who is a Christian minister and is doing a tough job, and continues to do so because of his strong beliefs, but "you, on the other hand, are just an idiot."
Shortly thereafter I got a private FB message from the OP. He was home for the holidays, visiting his father. I knew both from my days as a reporter. He'd apparently read the whole exchange to his father, who was laughing so hard he was crying, and instructed his son to send me a photo of a lovely winter scene with instructions to "chill out."
I remember seeing a meme defining the internet as an amazing source of information, on which most people spend their days getting into fights with total strangers. Ain't it the truth.
