On the adage to “keep one’s friends close and one’s enemies closer”, something comes to mind while interacting with unimpeded undesirables. To simply decollate the social media between us risks challenging past achievements in categories of nastiness.

It is like when musicians of old had to try moving through the maze of a record contract.
