@MisterPaul, thank you. This is good advice. I hadn't thought of it from the perspective of me striking first. But you're right - he will take it as an insult and a slight if I unfriend him now.

Avoiding the battles - for some reason, I feel the need to stand up to his lies and BS and to confront him on all his BS. So I continue to engage in the battle. But I know it's futile. He just keeps lying more and more. He lies to cover up the first lie and so it's all one big web of lies.
