I've realized over time that responding to a post that clearly hates or is ranting about something I like - is made of fail. I'll end up getting kicked to the curb and back. And for what? Plus, defriending often results from these situations.
Same is true with responding negatively to a post squeeing over something I despise. Yes, I may think XYZ is made of poo and the worst thing written ever - but seriously, how hard is it to let my friend love it? Just scroll on by, and let them squee.
I won't change their minds about the show, nor should I. And they aren't going to change mine...so in the end, it's all rather pointless - fighting for the sake of fighting so to speak. (Although there are days that I'm admittedly in the mood for a good old fashioned internet fist-fight. LOL! But I try very hard not to give into the urge.)
