Update: So I admit I should have kept quiet and not responded. This is the first time I've ever said anything on FB about someone else's breach of etiquette. Someone asked a question and I answered it before realizing that my response was rude in return. I already apologized to the mother-to-be and everything's cool. She was not happy with the guy who cussed profusely on her page either. And I found out, the guy isn't her husband like I thought, it's a friend of hers, but that doesn' really matter - just wanted to clarify. Thanks for the advice. I get it, I messed up. Lesson learned.
J/k. Actually, I wanted to ask if anybody else had run into etiquette issues with others since being on TK. Since being on here, I've learned all sorts of etiquette, especially about not posting anything on FB. Well, I normally wouldn't have said anything, but an old friend of mine (who I don't keep in touch with, but is on FB) posted her baby registry on FB for the whole world to see.
I wasn't going to say anything about breaking etiquette rules and how it looks rude, etc. but then I noticed one of her friends had posted something along the lines "you really shouldn't post that here" so I commented that I agreed with that person. But then someone else gets on and asks "why?" in the girl's defense. I calmly posted about etiquette rules and how it can be rude b/c posting registry info is like asking all your FB friends for gifts.
Well, that exploded into WWIII. Did not expect that. There were two on my side, but they didn't say a whole lot. I was very polite. I told the mother-to-be that i'm not judging her and that I'm happy for her and she can do what she wants, but that I just wanted her to be aware of this.
Next thing I know, her husband gets on there and writes this massive paragraph with one F-bomb after the other and all sorts of other choice words telling us it's none of our business, stay out of it, etc etc. Obviously this guy comes across as being very uneducated. So I just ended it with another answer explaining that it IS my business when it's posted on my wall for ALL to see and that mature people talk to others like adults and actually read what they say. I emphasized that I was happy for the mother, just like I had said the first time.
Ugh. People are so ignorant sometimes. I really feel bad for them. I hope I haven't become the "Nazi Etiquette Police" but sheesh, I was polite about the whole thing.
