To think this is rude. FB related!

[UndercoverBosss]

I posted a photo on Facebook this afternoon of my kids.

A friend (Friend 1)made a comment on the photo. A friend of hers, that I also know (Friend 2) and who is also on my friends list, then replied to her comment about something totally different and unrelated to me/my photo. The two of them then proceeded to have a conversation on my FB photo of about 12 replies to each other, talking privately about various things unique to their friendship.

Friend 2 did not like my photo or make a comment but instead just thought it was appropriate to have a private conversation.

I subsequently deleted their conversation apart from Friend 1's original comment about my photo.

Friend 2 has now sent me a snotty message asking if I've deleted their conversation and I said that yes, I did because I don't want someone else's conversation on my FB page.

AIBU to think both friends were rude? They're not good friends of mine BTW, so I'm not bothered if they get the hump about me deleting their conversation, just as they didn't seem to be bothered about offending me.

Weird thing to do.

Totally understand, it's rude! It also sounds like there is a whole backstory of them being cliquey, so I think you've probably felt more sensitive about it.

They sounds like A-holes - get them deleted!

I can't usually get bothered about FB threads but I had to comment on this one. Delete them both if they're not friends, what they did was incredibly rude.

Loads of people don't understand that the conversation is on someone else's post. I honestly could not get worked up about this AT all.
And I hate all the 'need' for likes. I love Instagram's new feature to hide the like count from other people. I don't post for likes, I post for memories.

This isn’t about the ‘need for likes’ - it’s about two people using the OP’s page to have a one-on-one conversation. Anyone who can’t work out that they should use their own page, or Messenger, is seriously lacking in social skills and common sense - and to complain about the OP deleting the posts is ridiculous. That should have been their wake-up call!
