Good evening. So, I grew up not knowing anyone on my father's side of the family, including my father. But after making contact with him, I’ve also found other family members online. My father has three sisters, all married. Under “people you may know” someone came up with the same last name as one of my aunts. I know the guy isn’t my aunt and uncle’s son, so he must be related to my uncle. I know they are family from reviewing their page.
At any rate, I added the guy and his posts are so awful. Really nasty. Lots of swearing. One was really kinda racist. Lots of sexual, inappropriate stuff. Perhaps I need to be a little more tolerant? As I am an adult and I had some pretty crude humor myself and swore quite a bit just years ago. But I have grown and changed. As I am today, I find some of his stuff gross and even offensive.
I’ve considered just going ahead and deleting him from my page, as I’m not even sure how we are related just that he’s related to my uncle some kind of way. But then I think, what if he were to see something on my page that might influence him in a positive way? What if, for example, I posted a verse of scripture and he saw it and it touched his heart?
If I delete him I may never know.
Is it worth it to leave him on my page in hopes I could make a difference? Or am I making myself at risk of being negatively influenced?
