Well, y'know. Bummer. Someone I had a lot of respect for and a lot of affection for has removed me from their friendslist. The reason for this is presumably because I criticised one of their beliefs. I guess that this is a divergence in our attitudes towards certain things. They saw me as rude and out of order, and so marshalled the banhammer. I personally wouldn't. I don't feel the need to remove people who disagree with me from my friendslist automatically if they criticise me, we should be fine with differing opinions etc. Maybe my response to said belief of basically saying 'that's retarded' wasn't full of finese. But it was one of those beliefs.
Without going too far into it (that'd allow easy identification, and that's not what I want) I'm quite down with many beliefs, hell, I can dig otherkin, ain't anything that disproves it, so y'know, maybe. this belief however had plenty (and I mean plenty) of evidence against it. Fuck even common sense is against it. So when you see someone you think of as intelligent and with it actually supporting this belief, you can't help yourself from saying 'are you having a laugh'.
Sad though, will miss them.
