[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I distanced myself from a friend group during covid because they kept in contact with a crazy racist antivaxxer. They were willing to overlook her nasty comments and views but I could not. I don't think my life is worse off not having her/them, but I do think friends are a reflection of you. [/quote]

I understand the racist part, but not wanting to be forced to get a vaccine that hasn’t been proven to work doesn’t sound evil to me.  Which only proves that we could be acquaintances because we both hate racism, but would not really be close friends because we disagree on an issue that you see as evil.  There would always be topics to avoid and it would naturally create distance, the interest in friendship between us would stop at we both hate racism.[/quote]
If you understand the racist part, ending the friendship for any other reason doesn't matter. Take your anti vax shit elsewhere. [/quote]

Thank you for putting the exclamation point on my argument.  I didn’t even have to do anything for you to hate me, just have a different opinion.  Why be friends with someone who does things that you believe are bad?  This person thinks I shouldn’t exist for having a differing opinion on a vaccine mandate, regardless of the fact that I am a medical professional.[/quote]
Sorry, are you saying that it's fine to be friends with a racist because we all have different views? Or are you agreeing that it's ok to ditch a friend because they started spouting racist nonsense? Or did you just come to defend antivaxers regardless of them being racist? Not sure the point of this post. [/quote]

I was trying to say that when people do bad/evil deeds, the only reason to be friends with them is because their behavior is in a moral gray area for you.  Many of us create distance when someone holds an opinion that we disagree with morally, why would you want to have a friend that actually does bad things?[/quote]
