facebook crazies...

So, I posted on my facebook (last night) that my DH's engineering paper had been published at a conference last year... and we just found out it was also accepted and published into a scholarly journal.

So, I was checking email this morning... and I got an email from facebook saying a guy I knew in HS (and haven't spoken to since) commented.  His comment was...

"be humble not boastfull in what you accomplish!!!!! The greatest recognition is one that comes without asking!!!!!!"

 ummmmmmmmmmmm. wtf?

Now that I go onto my facebook profile, I can't find the comment - so I guess that means he deleted it after facebook already sent me that email???

I guess I should probably just ignore this,  But I'm so tempted... Angry

Re: facebook crazies...

  •  WTF is right.
  • What a jerk! Congrats to your DH.

  • I saw that this morning actually.  So weird (and rude)
  • WTF? That guy needs to mind his own business. I would be soooo tempted to write him something snarky about being jealous.

    okay... so it was there this morning????

    does this mean he deleted it????

  • What a jerk!

    Sounds like smebody is jealous. And FYI you should be proud and boastful of his accomplishments.Your his wife and biggest fan!

    Tell your DH congrats from me! 

  • I'd unfriend him and be done with it.

    Not only would I unfriend him, I would send him a message first telling him why.  I'm a b*tch like that.

    Yeah, it was definitely there, it was at the top of my feed when I saw it, so I must have been on right after he posted. He must have deleted it.  

    Congrats to your DH though, that's awesome!  

  • Wow, that is crazy. That is so awesome for your DH!!

    nope.  I like to keep my participation here on the DL.  Zip it!

  • Yeah... I'm going to have to send him a message.  JUST to let him know I did recieve this message although he opted to delete it.  I don't think I can ignore this one...

  • You are allowed to be proud of your husband - in public, no less! Sounds like this guy has some issues with being insecure. He can't even stand behind his words. I'd de-friend and forget him.

  • I sent him the following message... and didn't de-friend him.  I'm interested in seeing what he has to say.

    Got your comment, although I guess you opted to delete it...
    "be humble not boastfull in what you accomplish!!!!! The greatest recognition is one that comes without asking!!!!!!"

    First, This is my husband and I am his #1 fan.  These aren't my accomplishments and I will proudly annouce them, as I please.  Second, I'm not asking for recognition - especially from you.  Just trying to let family and friends that know us, and care about us, in on exciting things happening in our lives. 
    Although I appreciate you deleting your insulting comment - I just wanted to let you know that it didn't go unnoticed.

  • I'm glad you said something.  I'm sorry but why did he join facebook if he didn't expect to see the thoughts, accomplishments and gripes of others?  Your post was great news and sounds more exciting than 95% of the status updates I see.
  • Wow that's crazy!  Methinks someone doesn't understand the purpose of facebook

    Facebook needs a middle finger icon to include. He's a jerk and you were so much nicer than I would have ever been.

    This exactly.  That was so messed up!  Congrats to your DH!

  • Good for you for saying something! What a great wife you are for not only supporting and being proud of your husband, but for defending him as well!

    And congratulations to your husband! That is awesome!

    Sounds like that guy is just jealous and/or maybe not so smart Wink In the very least, doesn't know a whole lot about marriage!

  • I loved your response!!
