To chill the hell out when they do destructive things like spread RW bullshit. Honestly I have a couple of friends who are so awful about that (bringing up Vince Foster and the Clenis- WTF?!?) that if I read them here, I would just assume were trolls. Now one did end up voting for Hillary but he still spent more than a year sliming her to anyone who would listen. (The other voted Stein and still is convinced HRC has not one single achievement to point to) But that Hillary voter- he's still on FB posting about the damned primary and how BS would have won. I posted to him - enough w the mf Guccifer Wiki Clenis crap. He almost destroyed his marriage he was so rabid.
Right now I think he's wasting a lot of energy, and alienating people to boot

Sorry for venting! Have a great weekend
