[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is posting pictures on FB rude?? If you don't want to see them, stay off FB, unfollow, or unfriend. You can choose what you look at. It's not like pictures are showing up in your mail to taunt you. People are crazy. [/quote]

FB is kind of like a big billboard and your FB "friends" are the people you know come by to look at it from time to time.  Most people would understand it would be rude to post pictures on an actual billboard of a party to which frequent visitors to the billboard were uninvited.

Sure, if their feelings were hurt, one could always retort after the fact, "It's your own fault for looking."  Which is not only clueless and insensitive, but not even really true because they only have that option after they've been made to feel crappy.  Before the fact they probably expect, reasonably, that their friends will treat them as such.

One could write a whole book about what it is about social media to cause people to forget basic manners, but this is a classic case.  If we weren't talking about FB here it would be pretty obvious that this is rude. [/quote]

This is a function of how *you* use Facebook. FB friends are either your actual friends, in which case why would you care that they're posting pictures of parties you aren't at, or you aren't actually friends - just FB friends - and again, then why would you care about pics if they're not actually your friends. The only problem is when you're FB friends, and somehow you think it should mean you're actually friends when you're not.  [/quote]

Of course you'd care if actual friends didn't invite you to a party, and then sent you pictures of the party you were excluded from.  So your first hypothetical above makes no sense.[/quote]
