Holy cow – I caused a riot
I didn’t advocate kicking kitties or pummelling puppies.
I merely said on local Facebook group that I’d cancelled a cleaning person upon asking her vax status and her saying it was negative, and now was looking for someone who was vaxxed.
I stopped reading and responding to comments early on. Was, in case of need of heightened blood pressure (I do tend to measure low), gonna read the latest comments eventually. Saved by the bell, or something. Whole post and thread was purged. Sounds like it was FB’s doing because notice read “violations of community standards” and “covid misinformation” – “post again only without mention of covid.” Hah! No thanks. May never post anything again.
What a zoo! Lectures, insults, stern admonitions on how I should lead my life… I thought this was a relatively sane town, yes with its crazies, but generally genial, but this covid thing has made everyone raving mad.
However, early on I got a PM from a vaxxed woman who’s coming tomorrow to clean my house of horrors.

You were in the right. Idiots have gone nuts. I’m just sorry to hear that Trumpism infects Canada.

I am finding that my Facebook feed increasingly vacuous. I am sure there must be much more serious contemplations being published by more astute observers who are not in my Facebook feed. I just can’t figure out the whole dynamic. Someone explained it to me this way: Everyone of Facebook and the other social media outlets is engaged in the process of self-promotion and it seems that the key element in self-promotion is engagement. Therefore, the more controversy you generate the more attention you attract and attention is the coin of the realm. I think that the people who use Bindle have one thing in common: they don’t want attention. The ones who did, left.

OK, Alan, I’ll try harder on fb. 🙂

I need to come up with some snappy answers for the occasional unvaxxed stooges.
Sneezing, coughing etc. are the weapons of mass destruction I fear the most.

“I merely said on local Facebook group that I’d cancelled a cleaning person upon asking her vax status and her saying it was negative, and now was looking for someone who was vaxxed.”
Big mistake!
You should have known better than to walk into the lion’s den while wearing porkchop undies…
