Come again, random facebooker?

Something happened that reminded me of this clip recently.

I received a private message from some woman yesterday over Facebook. It was regarding a comment I had posted on an image a few weeks previously. The post in question was from a group called 'anti Islam' or something to that degree (Urgh). The post was a share by some girl I *was* facebook friends with. I basically said in the message that it was disgusting sharing such a racist post, unfriended and blocked her. I may have used a few choice words in the message but the gist was there.

So on to yesterday when I went into my messages to send something. I saw this woman (as it turns out, the mother of who I replied to) had sent me a message saying her daughter hadn't seen the original group name and had later apologised (for the oversight, not the image - to be clear). She then went on to tell me I was a 'holier than thou bitch' and I am making this country so politically 'correct' (the quotations were her's). 

Well, what a fucking compliment, eh? To which I reply thank you. I'm glad you find me correct. I'm fucking ecstatic you say I'm part of such a society; I think the UK as a whole should take that as a huge compliment. 

I always like to think I have a pretty good bullshit radar and can pick friends and aquaintances within that remit pretty well, but then something like this throws me and I start questioning my values. How did I let that one slip through the net? I thought it was pretty obvious to everyone around me what I believe, what find acceptable and unacceptable, so how did I end up being in this uncomfortable position?

School friends, man. School friends... How did I know someone I knew at 15 would end up like that?! Lesson learnt, people. Heed the warning.

Let me be clear, hating on anyone for their religion, skin colour, sexuality, disability, culture etc is wrong. I am ALWAYS going to tell you it's wrong. If I am offended, I will tell you and I will remove myself from your company. I would rather have no friends than have to put up with this bullshit.
