I actually tried to stay in touch with a couple old DGers through FB, but found that while we certainly had common gardening interests, we were miles apart politically -- one I had to actually unfriend due to his constant barrage of offensive (to me) posts. At some point I just decided, really I don't know this person, there is no reason to continue to subject myself to unpleasantness. Poof - gone. That said, I do like that we are not 'forbidden' to delve into controversial gardening issues (GMOs, organic v. chemical) and have enjoyed courteous well thought out discussions that don't get nasty. So refreshing.
