IRL People Ignoring/Unfriending over Chiefs talk.
There is about 3 people I know on FB that I have had spirited conversations with since December. They have argued with me over the drafting of Geno and have gotten quite butthurt over it when I continually posted why we should draft Geno. I noticed they haven't replied to any of my posts recently, so I decided to investigate. Turns out, they unfriended me over this shit, people I have known for 20 years! Anyone else have experience with idiots like this?

Anyone that wants to draft Jekyll doesn't have enough common sense worth being friends with anyway.
|
If you're going to propose drafting a tackle over a quarterback after the last few years, you have to expect that you'll lose some friends.
|
Here's my experience.... **** em'

Good luck with the thread... |
Why do you feel it is so important to argue with them? I usually bow out of FB discussions when they get lengthy or divisive.
I would personally not unfriend you unless you went on and on about it all the time in an annoying fashion. Having a different opinion would not be an issue but people manage their personal social platforms in different ways. Doesn't make them idiots. |
I immediately stop talking to chiefs fans that want joeckel.

Trying to talk Chiefs, or sports for that matter on Facebook is pointless really. Facebook in general is pointless.

I try not to discuss anything Chiefs related on FB because it's almost impossible to actually have an intelligent discussion. It's filled with people that don't like Geno Smith because they compare him to Jamarcus Russell or Vince Young.

I'm confused. You start a thread about real life and then talk about Facebook feuds
|
Rumor is there is tape of Geno Smith butt raping Gene Uphaw's corpse. While eating a bald eagle sandwich and holding an automatic rile.

It's not surprising because there's many who aren't sold on Geno. That someone would unfriend another based on that alone seems rather drastic. Perhaps they had been considering that option already and the unfavorable opinion of drafting Geno pushed them over the cliff?

Your best bet is stay off FB. Stay on CP where people are always friendly.

The shit sandwich known as Kiper/McShay should be banned from the game for promoting mass stupidity.

Yeah. I discontinue sports talk when they say stupid shit like Joekel or we need another running back or ILB or whatever is the new latest greatest. It just isn't worth it. They're too dumb to change their mind. And even if you can convince him that the QB is important, they'll want to take Collin Klein or something dumb. Just let dumb be dumb.

I can rebuttal anything they come up with facts, stats, and common sense... but they will still refuse to give in. I hate most chiefs fans. |

I unfriend people for being overly religious or being a douche. If you are someone I haven't spoken to in 4-5 years, then you are automatically at the top of the list. Also don't post internet posters.
|
friends who want to remain friends don't discuss religion or politics...or Chiefs football.

qbsacker93 - If you're taking the ChiefsPlanet approach of trying to pound people into submission with an insistent series of posts that all say the same things over and over you're bound to drive people away. I take the word "continually" in your post, as a sign that you're going overboard. My advice is to learn how to agree to disagree and move on with your real life friends. |

I think facebook is an amazing barometer of where my friends are. If I get unfriended then I know where I'm at. Never, in the history of man, has there been a more practical tool to tell you who your friends really are. I love the thing. It's absolutely amazing. When somebody dumps me, I'm moderately upset for a few seconds but then generally pretty giddy knowing that the system works.

I gained a shit ton of likers this year on RTC just from sticking to my guns on the following truths:
***** sucks Romeo sucks Cassel sucks Draft a QB I don't miss the people that unliked. |

You were obviously annoying about it, to the extent that you started this gay ass post.

It's one of the reasons I like twitter so much more than facebook. On twitter if you post a bunch of stupid crap people unfollow you. On facebook people seem to think others are obligated to stay friends, because they have some personal connection, so they post inane, stupid junk that would normally cause you to lose 20 followers on twitter.
