It did! Many thanks to you and everyone else. Today I'm in a much better frame of mind.

I suggested my SIL hide my FB posts when she messaged me saying she didn't like seeing anything about homosexuality on my FB posts. That I should not be "sending" any (I wasn't, I just sometimes post things that support LGBT). She said stuff like that shouldn't come from her Christian friends (she's VERY conservative). Well, she didn't want to hide my posts, she wanted me to not post anything like that.  ::) ::)

I hope you told her that what you post is up to you, and that not everyone shares the same values.

I have a FB friend who shares posts from high kill shelters in other states, not near us, lots and lots of them. I just block the posts. Clears up my feed.

She needs to just block the posts or get off FB.

i have had people say that...some just complain, some have "muted" me...but that is their choice.
I have taken more political stuff to twitter though.

I have unfollowed people (both sides) If I don't like  a post I delete it.

I have no problems being unfollowed, or even blocked if a person feels it's necessary. Out of curiosity I checked my wall and most of my posts tend to be random cute animal stuff, various gaming things and other non-political stuff.

She may have her FB set up to show when friends like or comment on stuff. I tend to be active on threads for some news organizations and certain political activist groups I'm with.

The one who shares a lot of political stuff is her daughter, but I wise enough to so not go there.

She can unfollow people if she's tired of seeing it.  No one else needs to censor themselves for her.

My solution to posts I don't like is to scroll past. I censor nobody. (Though I did defriend someone who I met in person once and seemed stellar, but his posts constantly revealed him as bigoted). I think it's healthy to see things we disagree with.

People telling me what to post on my wall? Their problem, not mine.

Had one friend post a few days after a major political news event that he was sorry, but he was going to have to start unfriending people that posted X types of posts about Major Political News Event. I thought it was rather arrogant of him to think that we were all going to say to ourselves, "OMG, I had better not post that, because then John will defriend me!" Nope, I kept posting what I wanted to post.

A few more times, he posted something along the lines of, "OK, final warning, I will be deleting people that post about X."

And it's like, "OK, buh-bye then! You ARE allowed to unfriend people; you are not required to announce it."

I notice he is still on my friends list, though I think his opinion on this matter is stupid, and I am pretty sure he thinks mine is as well. But we were friends in college, so.....

My cousin brags about my defriending her over politics. 😀 She knows nothing about history and got many facts wrong.

I meant to follow up and forgot. Recently she's gotten back on FB and apologized for her attitude. I suspect her daughter had a few words to stay to her (I'm online friends with her daughter too). And she said she is now filtering posts.
