there is a new factor in play. It is the introduction of this ethic free zone that Hillary Clinton has created.

Although she's always been more enthusiastic about pursuing our friendship than I have, it's still pretty surreal to encounter how unhinged she really is. I leave her pro-Clinton posts alone, why the fuck can't she extend the same courtesy to me?

And honestly, I can ignore her trolling my posts. But she she starts in on my other Sanders'-supporting friends who comment on the threads she's trolled me on, that's when I had to step in and ask her to stop. And she hasn't. I don't want to defriend her - she's in my book club! But W.T.F.

When you post something on your wall you can decide who sees it. You could block her from seeing those posts and then she won't be able to respond.

And I believe you even have an option to block her from being able to write on your wall. That might be a little bit extreme because she would notice. She won't notice the other option.

if you block someone you unfriend them. But I did add her to my "hidden post" list so she wont' see what I post going forth. Thanks!

with my extensive family network across the country, and my extensive friend network, also from across the country. So not giving up on social networking just quite yet. Blocking this bi-atch, though. Until Trump wins because Clinton is such a weak candidate. Then we'll be on the same side again.
