Pet Peeves

They were leftist control freaks...with a nice nature, granted.

I wouldn't want them anywhere near kids.

Well no one said anything about meeting and living with them. They were human. People. They have loved ones who will miss them, regardless of political ideology.
 
In my defence, they were nearly indistinguishable from one another... moderate leftists who leaned further left.

I never respected either of them but tolerated them.

They were quite different in personality though. At least, in my opinion.

Here's the rub, you can't be friendly with anyone that doesn't think mostly like you.

That's pretty sad, imo.

You can be friendly with someone with ethics, morals, and a willingness to hash out differences in a peaceful manner.... however, both were old girls. They were trapped by morality and where their movement has gone..

But being old girls, too obstinate to say it out loud.

How were they aggressive, violent or war-like, all the opposite of "peaceful"?

I think you're being quite uncharitable.
