    Isn’t dismissing something you don’t like as stupid an emotional reaction? I mean ‘stupid’ is not really exactly the same as ‘lacking in intelligence,’ it’s a word with emotional weight.

      Yes, it is. And even more infuriating that his next reply, the explanation of HIS stance, was that covid was hurting HIS business (lawyer, ambulance chaser).

      He missed the irony completely. And that conversation has done irreparable damage to our friendship. We were very close. I was a groomsman at his wedding before all of this.

      We’ve tried to reconcile, but it’s not there. In each of our opinions, the other’s head is too far up ones ass.

        I totally understand. I’ve been there myself. Not with anyone super close, but I’ve still lost friends to this insanity.
