I try to stay away from any drama on Facebook. I would probably just ignore the comment. You could probably delete the photo and I assume the comment would go away. Perhaps there is even a way to delete people's comments. I have never had anyone be too rude on Facebook. I do not post on Facebook that often. I do not even have that many photo's posted.

Most of my friends and family would not say anything rude anyways.

You can always joke back and say "actually, now he looks perfect to me!"

Something to get your point across without being outright rude back.

I can't count the number of times I've typed out some response, only not to submit it when I was done. Sometimes I can't help myself. I've always been one that didn't want to air dirty laundry on facebook. I use it more to spread cheer, awareness, pray for sick people and for work. However, I recently posted a huge post to my family and community. I felt like I had to clear something up. It wasn't degradation to anyone but myself maybe, and it was a last resort.

Anyways, I will post and take up for someone when they've really been wronged, but I try not to unless it's extreme. I just feel the less drama in life, the better. I seen a post the other day that said "Facebook is for your status, not a diary". Boy, isn't that the truth!

I do agree with the previous answer. I go for the secret burn myself a lot. It's kind of like telling someone what you think with a smile. Let them sit and ponder about it.

I don't have family on Facebook, only a couple of friends and the rest are probably business people who also want to promote their content or their ideas.

If I saw anybody being rude or criticizing badly or misbehaving, I block them immediately. I have no time in my life or on Facebook to deal with rudeness. It really amazes me that people still are rude on Facebook. They probably can't get it into their heads that everything is saved and can be pulled out into the open if required. I think I wouldn't like any future boss or client seeing any rude comments from me, so I neither write them myself nor do I comment on them.

It depends upon who is saying it and what it was. If I comment on someone's status and someone I don't know comments back rudely, I can easily ignore that because I don't know them. If someone I actually knew said something rude, particularly something disrespectful towards a loved one, I would delete their comment and then talk to them about it in person. In this case, these are two people who will see each other, and just letting it slip implies that you're okay with this. I think you need to remove the comment if you can, and talk to her about it in person or over the phone. Maybe say something like "I know tone of voice gets lost in typing, but I found your comment about his weight to be disrespectful. I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt his feelings, but I don't want anything like that posted under my photos."

If this is his own sister, it might be better for her to confront her, but if he doesn't want to, you could always respond with your own comment saying something like "oh, you mean by handsome and charming husband? I adore him too!"
