I had to block my own brother on Facebook 
Sad but true. He is a right wing hard core Repuke and for years have been bickering back and forth. I joined Facebook 3 months purely for the social aspect and reconnecting with old grade school, high school, college and old work and social related friends who I have lost touch with over the years. It has been great and not once has anyone who I added as a "friend" ever taunted or baited me because of my personal profile. And, may I add, quite a few of them describe their political beliefs as "Conservative" or "Republican Party". That does not matter to me; I joined simply to reconnect in a social online setting. Until yesterday. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that my brother wanted to invite me as a "friend". Thinking this may be a huge mistake (I said as much to my son), I accepted his invitation. Well, his first wall post was filled with taunts and ridicule because I described myself as a "moderate democrat". I won't go into the details of the wall post, but I immediately "uninvited" him as a "friend". This morning he sends me a message in my inbox, whining "WHY did you delete me as a friend?", to which I simply replied "You're smart, you'll figure it out". To which he then messaged me "I know why. Can't you take some ribbing? My watch partner could not believe you put that comment about America on your page either! He is GONE can't you liberals let it go!" (This was in response to this comment in my profile:

"Dear World:
The United States of America, your quality supplier of the Ideals of Liberty
and Democracy, apologizes for its 2001 - 2008 service outage"

I then sent him this message:

"****, I joined facebook 3 months purely for the social aspect of reconnecting with long lost friends. I have no intention of using the site to discuss politics and each person's page is a reflection of his/her personal beliefs. I have absolutely no desire to discuss politics with you and I absolutely was not going to start especially with YOU. No one else has discussed and/or commented on my personal feelings or beliefs and I haven't done this with anyone else, though quite a few of my facebook friends describe themselves as "conservative" or "Republican Party". Leave it and let it go. I did not invite you as a "friend" to discuss or argue politics and political beliefs, but simply as a family member. Since your first post was more of the same crap we have been doing for years (and for the record, I have long ago decided not to discuss politics with others in these types of forums), I uninvited you as a "friend". You're welcome to call or e-mail me at any time, but know that I will not discuss politics with you any longer and will not reply to any of your taunting and baiting"

Sad, but I have had enough. I have decided not to be baited by this asshole any longer. If he wants to pretend that we are still 10 years old, so be it. I then took the step of totally blocking him. I may also have to block his e-mail address so I do not receive any more bullshit from him.

Has anyone else had any problems like this with family members? I hate to have taken these drastic steps, but I no longer wish to listen to his drivel and stupidity. I do not have the time or patience for any of this.

Sorry for the long rant, but just had to vent!!

This DUmmie would have his brother sent to the gulag.

The DUmmies brother is better off.

My guess is that the DUmmie is the type we always read about that goes to a family dinner (usually Thanksgiving or Christmas)...is the only Lib in the bunch....creates a scene bashing W or the Military or any other favorite Libtard target...and then comes whining back to DU about how he hates his "Fundie Rethug family".

This is usually used to describe a guy you work with during a watch period. Firefighters use it, Police use it, I am told the freeky Airforce Missile Silo types use it...

13. And my brother has been a puzzle to me for 25 years now 
 Especially considering that both my mother and father are lifelong Democrats and have always despised Republicans. As they say "he wasn't brought up this way!". When we were teenagers he was quite liberal in his thinking. Maybe he had a brain implant along the way or something he hasn't told me about!!

   Fixed.  My guess DUmmie is about the time he got a job and started paying taxes.

Wow.  If that guy had been a girl and had been blocked instead of being the blocker, I almost would've suspected it was my sister.  My liberal eldest sister got miffed at me for posting messages to one of her blogs or something.  She sent me an email saying not to comment on her stuff anymore because we both knew where the other stood and nothing would change anything.  So I thought "fine" and removed her from my Facebook and YouTube friends.  I didn't tell her I did so, but I'm sure she noticed.  Neither one of us have ever said anything about it face-to-face.  We still love each other a lot.

Sorry, but I couldn't help myself.  I totally agree his brother is better off without him.
