I watched a quasi friendship diminish on the spot on social media just because I reshared a news article minus any commentary. Had known her since hs, sort of, was one of those lost contact, oh great, look it's fb reacquainted types of "friends". Was told that I couldn't be reasoned with because I reshared that news article. She flew off the handle because she was insulted by the content of the news article. How dare I even post a news article.

So, as far as that part of your opening post goes, yep....been there, done that and solidly closed that door.
