I dropped off FB — deleted everything I'd posted, deleted all my likes, and then deleted my account — for several reasons, but one of the lesser ones was the stress.
However, before that, I'd managed to offend at least two people into unfriending me. One, so far as I can tell, by me being a liberal who wouldn't keep quiet; the other by being insulting to the Confederacy. My first reaction was surprise. Next was "don't let the door hit you on the way out".
Stupid is often a matter of perception. When the brouhaha about the Confederate flag was going on, I had a number of people posting stuff in favor of the flag. I'd call them on their garbage. I do not think that me doing so was saying something stupid, but one of them did to the point of unfriending me.
