[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some of you are being really disingenuous and reading way more into the comments on here than anyone is saying.

No one has said you can't post photos of people to Facebook. I keep seeing this and then trying to find the post that suggest this and it doesn't exist. Y'all are reading into something that isn't there.

Once a friend of mine organized a mom's night but she did not invite a close friend of ours who had just had a baby, because she assumed that said friend wouldn't be able to come out. Some photos of the night got posted to Instagram and the new-mom friend was understandably hurt (and likely super hormonal and more sensitive to the unintentional slight -- been there). It was wrong to assume she wouldn't want to at least be invited even if she bowed out because of the baby, and it was insensitive of us to post photos of it, knowing she'd see them, without thinking about how she'd feel about it. She posted a comment that made it clear she was hurt, we apologized, and everyone moved on. It was a simple mistake and one we won't make again.

If instead we'd responded by saying "OMG why do you even care -- why must you live in anger over this?!?!?" I sense that friendship would be destroyed and she'd rightfully think we were hateful jerks.

Some of you are really starting to sound like hateful jerks.[/quote]

Literally someone said you shouldn't post photos of backyard bbqs or any social events of less importance than weddings.[/quote]

Literally? I don't see it. Find the post and quote it. No one said this.[/quote]

page 13 for the BBQ[/quote]

You’re completely misrepresenting that post.  The person referenced people who were left out and would feel hurt at seeing it, which is crucial context.  But again, keep posting pictures of every social event you attend.  That’s not attention-seeking at all.[/quote]

Are we pretending it isn’t self-centered and dramatic to look at a photo of a BBQ and feel like you deserve an invitation?[/quote]
