So I was a Fan... But Apparently He's a Jerk

Tweet

What makes a particular actor one of your favorites? Is it a display of brilliant, seemingly flawless acting, regardless of the role or circumstances? For some people, this might be true. However, I'm not much of an acting critic. My favorite actors are not necessarily the best actors. I mostly love the actors who play characters whom I really like. Sadly, it seems that one of my favorite (used to be favorite?) actors is something of a jerk in real life. Of course I could be wrong. To be fair, I've never actually met him. It's like this. I was following Scott Baio on Twitter. I loved Chachi from Happy Days and Charles from Charles in Charge. So, anyway, I was following Scott Baio on Twitter. Scott supports Trump and Tweets in support of him quite a bit. One time, and one time only, I responded to one of Scott's tweets about Trump. In said tweet I stated that I didn't like Hillary or Trump. I said something to the effect of Trump is no better than Hillary. That's all I said, and I left it at that. I did not resort to calling Scott by any nasty or derogatory names, as I notice some people do when disagreeing about politics. I have never tweeted to Scott before or after that. Yesterday, while on Twitter, I noticed that I hadn't seen any tweets from Scott Baio in several days, so I visited his profile page and I'M BLOCKED! I don't understand that. All I did was disagree with him once. I've never met him. He doesn't know me. I responded to just one tweet of his, in which I disagreed with him about Trump, but did not say anything mean or nasty to him, and now I'm blocked. What a nice guy... Geesh! I guess I should have known better though. It seems that disagreeing about religion or politics never fails to put a wedge between peoples. Perhaps someday we will live in a world where we can disagree with one another about such things as politics and religion, yet still get along.
