[quote=Anonymous]So SIL (my DH's brother's wife) got a tattoo, posted photo on FB. The tattoo is of a lion along with with the names of her, her DH and her DC written as well. She described it in the FB post as signifying courage and strength.
My DH commented that it looked more like a cow than a lion, and went on to describe some unsightly features of the tattoo and why it does not look like a lion at all. She is enraged, unfriended both DH & I and is demanding an apology from DH, and there is a stand off. And now sent me a note asking me for an explanation as to why DH did this.

Now it is true that it looks like a cow with shoes on and a pattern on its back, no hair, no mane, no lion like expression or form.

But I am unsure what is FB etiquette, is it ok to post such frank comments publicly, she says he should have told her in person so she can retaliate, but instead this comment was on her FB wall for 2 days before she could get to it and delete it, causing public humiliation for her.
I am also curious since DH as perceived by me can be blunt and rude, but he claims he is on spectrum and prefers being direct , whereas my SIL is also very emotional and has problems with few other family members.
Thoughts? Is she overreacting, or is he at fault, or both, and how best can this be addressed?
