Am I being petty?

| My mother and I have completely different views on pretty much everything. Lately, she's been "sharing" posts and links that relate to her opinions, and adding comments like, "I have zero respect for anyone who believes this" or "anyone who thinks this way is a complete moron" and things like that. I am just about done and thinking of blocking her access to my information and then unfollowing her. Is this petty? I have a thick skin for most things, but I feel she posts most of this to be spiteful. |

| I don't know how your relationship is with her, but maybe a gentle reminder is in order. She might not understand that everyone she's fb friends with sees her comments. Find a way to tell her that Aunt Linda or her book club ladies are seeing her posts and will be offended at being called a moron. |

| Unfollow. She has the right to say whatever she wants, even if you don't like it. |

I'd comment by saying "Looks like you raised a moron!"

| Though spiteful, don't take action beyond ignoring. |

Some relationships are not meant for FB. I have friends I feel this way about. So I'd just unfollow her.
Sometimes I like seeing the other side, if it's presented in a rational way without any name calling. |

| Is she taking YOUR posts and doing this with them? Yeah, I'd be pretty offended. And I would opt out of the share feature for a while. Or place her on a restricted friends list. |

| Unfollow her. This isn't be petty. It's about deciding what you want to see. That's all. |

| Don't block her (unless she is posting such comments on your feed, in which case then you should block her) and definitely unfollow her. |

This is OP. I guess it's passive-aggressive, but I'd like to block her. If she's so disgusted with my choices, and thinks I'm a moron, no reason she should be interested in seeing anything I post. Right? |

It's petty and passive aggressive, but I get it and I'd be tempted to do it too. You're hurt, and at some level you want her to know it. But then move on with your life. Definitely don't go checking to see what she posts next. It's really not worth it. |

| Another day, another complaint about what people do on Facebook. Maybe you could stop reading what she posts on Facebook. |

Then it may be worth having a conversation rather than taking FB action. |
