Do you ever make a friend on fb (or in real life) who you respect and like tremendously...but then they come out of left field with some wacky statement or belief that completely changes your opinion of them?

I’ve been online friends with one particular person for several months. She has always struck me as being calm, rational and intelligent. But then today, in the middle of a thread we were discussing about inmates paying for their own meals and doctor’s visits, she said, “Yes it is Valerie, but it is so important that we as women vote, I cannot stress that enough! We live in an very Red state as you well know and the extreme right want to take that right away from us. I will never surrender and will fight to the death to vote.”

Took me completely by surprised. I was so disappointed. :(
