A couple days ago I posted on Facebook that I thought the invasion of the Capital was wrong.
A long time friend replied that communicated that I was ok with ballot fraud.
So, I unfriended and blocked her.

She texted me to ask why and expressed her disappointment that I met a political disagreement end a long friendship.
I replied that wasn't the case.
She let political opinion motivate her to lie about me in public.
I don't have to allow slander on my social media posts.

It's not difficult. If you don't know what someone thinks, ask a question
If you feel confident to declare what they think, you've signaled there's no reason to discuss it---YOU KNOW.
If you bypass questions to declare what I think, don't be insulted when I stop listening.

And see, here's the thing: I received and replied to the private texts.
We had a conversation (though I try to avoid text and messaging conversations on serous topics; I much prefer face-to-face in person or on video).
Sometimes wisdom means knowing where to talk.
