Facebook Etiquette 101: Commenting on Statuses

Facebook Etiquette 101: Commenting on Statuses
When your friend posts something on their own wall, and you don’t agree with it, you should do one of the following:
- Keep on scrolling. Read it, form an opinion about it, and move on, or,
- If you REALLY disagree, write an opposing status of your own, on your own wall, giving anyone who disagrees with you these same options for handling their own disagreement, or,
- If you REALLY, REALLY disagree, effing block the offender! If you’re real-life friends, this may mean only hiding them from your News Feed; otherwise, man up and unfriend or block-block them!
You should avoid taking any of the following actions, as it’s bad form:
- Comment on the status in a disparaging or rude manner. Remind yourself that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and take a step back, please.
- Comment on a non-friend’s status. The News Feed now allows us to see our friends’ comments on non-friends’ statuses. When you don’t even know the initial poster, control yourself from commenting on a STRANGER’S posts!
