I try to get my HS classmates together every few months. (42 years out of HS) it's always a crap shoot who will come. So I post on FB for the class of 72 that we are meeting out next week with the place and time. A friend who has nothing to do with that group comments that place sucks, they charge whatever they feel like for drinks, I wouldn't go there, on and on. So, I deleted her post cause it's hard enough to get people to show up as it is. Wouldn't you just let it go if you were her? No, she then comments why did you delete my comment? So I just deleted the whole post.
Thanks for listening, I feel less bitchy than ranting to my IRL friends.

That's weird. I wouldn't have deleted the whole post ( but like you, I would've deleted the comments) I would talk to the friend outside of that post (either in person, by phone or even a private FB message) telling her that the reason you deleted her comments is that the location wasn't up for discussion and you didn't want the post to get cluttered up with chit chat that might derail someone that the post was intended to from coming. I'd probably tell her "thanks for trying to help"  just to keep the peace. |

Some people just have to have a finger in every pie!
Sorry she was being bitchy.

Miss Ang, her post was the first comment. So I figured I would delete and start from scratch. I did text her and told her why I deleted it and she said she was just trying to tell us to pick another place. It's next week!

Some people have to stick their nose into everything, even if it is none of their business. I work with one of those and oh my does he drive me insane.

If she doesn't like the place you picked, she doesn't have to attend. You're doing a good thing by trying to get everyone together, while she does nothing but complain. Yeah, who care what she thinks?

I have that same problem with a friend and also with a relative. I run the FB page for the business I work for, a parenting magazine. I will post something and the friend will make a comment that is personal, nothing bad, but its something only *I* will get, doesn't belong on the business page. The relative likes to post complaints. I'm posting something positive, say about a scholarship program for camp for kids and she wants to know why there isn't something like that for grandparents who want to go to a special program with their grandkids at a special camp. Doesn't fit with my post, doesn't provide info for others, etc. It annoys the heck out of me.

I did text her and told her why I deleted it and she said she was just trying to tell us to pick another place. It's next week! Ann I think I would have told her that if she feels I should pick another place SHE can be in charge of the get togethers. But since it sounds like it isn't her class I guess that wouldn't work. In which case I have little trouble telling her to get a clue.. every place charges what they want for drinks; butt out. |

I would have deleted the comment, too, and been irritated by her "why did you delete it?" Some people just amaze me.
Maybe you should create a private/secret group for your HS friends so that you can avoid this kind of thing in the future?

Ann Set up a private/secret group for your FB classmates...then no one else can put their two cents in~~ I love that feature |

Good for you in keeping your reunions going. I'm sure that are some people in your group that really appreciate it, whether they can be there or not. |

Wow, who does that?! I would have deleted the comments too. And you wouldn't necessarily have to create a seperate page for the group, you could make a group list of your classmates. Then when ever you want to post something for that group you select that group in the "who can see my post" tab and it'll only be visible to them. Clearly I need more coffee because that barely even makes sense to me.  |

I have a friend who does this stuff all the time...on FB and in real life. It drives me batty and I usually just end up ignoring her comments. Sometimes it's harder to do than other times, but I muddle through. For some things I've just made secret groups and invited only the involved parties and that has worked out well.

I would pm her and tell her what you said here...it has nothing to do with her and that's where you are going, please stop posting about it, you want people to go!
What a pain!

If you don't want to set up a specific group for the reunion invites you can block one person from seeing a post.
Still shaking my head at her freeness with sharing an opion about an activity that doesn't concern her.
