2. The purpose of language is to communicate that grammatical or rhetorical errors are excusable so long of course that he/she doesn’t insist on such errors or inaccuracies.
3. Facebook postings are to inform or express ideas and never to solicit “likes” or positive reactions or comments. No reaction or comment is better than a mere “courtesy like”. Who knows, your audience may just have been stupefied to react.
4. Criticism should be subtle and done with finesse, and Horatian Satire is still the classic way of sarcasm.
5. Gross misinformations cannot always be ignored out of our moral and social obligation to protect the public from falsehoods.
6. With rampant blatant lies, stupidity, and crash ignorance, it is hard to be apolitical. One has to take a critical and intelligent stand.
7. God’s graces are very much unlike a popularity contest that it borders on sacrilege to say that abundant blessings will come with the sharing of religious photos. Neither are prayers appropriate on Facebook as God doesn’t maintain an FB account.
8. Tastes and food preferences knows no social or financial boundaries so it is rude to say that a rich kid will not share what a normally deprived kid will eat or is accustomed to. Jack of Titanic was a poor guy but “doesn’t like caviar much”.
9. Too many “selfies” is still a psychological disorder bordering on Narcissism.
10. Facebook is not a full-time job that we should, or expect others to reply to in real-time.
11. I personally take challenges on FB as irrelevant and a waste of time.
12. Many will post their travel photos or food trips but it is not always to brag. They are just too happy with their experiences that they want others to have the same given the chance.
13. In my case, I usually post places or food photos to promote a unique culture, particularly how food is done in the past era or a place.
14. When I don’t accept friend requests on FB it’s not always because I don’t like her/him, as being just another “surveillance camera”. It’s either because it is a bogus account or it’s his/her FB friends that I don’t like. Anyway, most of my postings are public so there is no need to be a friend to have access to it.
15. Senseless postings, particularly those ripe with envy, hate, or are meant to politically discredit, may simply just be ignored. There are remedies available, however– to unfollow, unfriend, or block.
16. Respect the privacy of others. Postings may be intended for a particular group of friends or for family consumption and not for all those on the friends’ list. No reaction or comment is therefore necessary.
17. If ever I do not react or comment it does not mean that I have not read, appreciated, laughed privately, or understood a post. Some just take me to deep contemplation or that the emoticons on FB are insufficient or inaccurate. Much more, posts appearing on walls may be fleeting.
18. A like does not always mean “good” or interpreted as being brutal. It is an acknowledgment of information conveyed.
19. A ”credit to the owner (CCTO)” is ill-mannered and insufficient to imply that a photograph is of another person. At the very least mention where it was taken or cited.
20. I only react or comment to a post where I see it or whoever posted first.
