I just continue doing what I do. I don't pay much attention to loss of friendships or family to this mess or any other reason they need to justify leaving my life.

Eventually, either they come around and seek you out to offer an apology, which means you win, or they don't and you never have to deal with them again, and you also win. It's a win-win, either way.

If people want to get mad at you and leave your life for whatever reason, it doesn't matter for what/why, then they were going to at some point anyway. So, it doesn't really matter.

What does matter are those that stay, regardless of a different viewpoint and continue to live their lives WITH you. Those are the relationships people need to focus on and cultivate, not the lost, which would've happened anyway. That path is the path of folly.
