I've corrected matter of factly in 2 cases with the same person. They didn't lose their ____.
They deleted the entire thread. Whatever. :rolleyes:
I am extra gentle when correcting someone else's post. I am more firm when someone replies to one of my posts with misinformation. If they persist, I get less gentle. After correcting someone for about the fifth time in one discussion that started with my post, I firmly explained my view that posting misinformation to my page is rude and if they won't stop, I will block them. Never had to block anyone yet. But my approach differs, depending on who started the discussion.
Oh I've never gone that far with a correction. Like I said, twice I made comment and twice the same person chose to delete their entire thread instead of discuss. And, I'm far nicer on Facebook than I am on MDB.

My feedback: You can have opinions, or you can have friends. Which is more important to you?
I completely sympathize with Jersey Girl here. I am finding Temp Admin comment incomprehensible. It appears dark to me in a way I seldom encounter here and there have been some weird things posted from time to time.
Hold on, I am starting to get a clue, perhaps it means," Spock, lobotomize me now!" Or maybe just , "Scotty beam me up."
Nah, it's only Shades.

The comment might make more sense to you if he said, "You can express opinions, or you can have friends. Which is more important to you?"
Obviously, you can have opinions and friends at the same time, but you risk those friends unless you keep your controversial opinions to yourself.

I post on Facebook once a year. It's to say thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.
When I initially signed up on Facebook I was inclined to post about topics and engage people. The results? Well, given the number of LDS, Utah Republicans in my family and historic friends circle it frequently included my being defriended. I had an uncle tell me my dad must be disappointed because he didn't raise me to back talk my elders or something like that. A long time friend going back to middle school defriended me after getting belligerent with another Facebook friend on my wall who had spoken out about something he said. I initially thought I could maintain open dialog with respectful diagreement. It takes two to pull off that dance, and when the topic is politics or some other personally held belief most people aren't interested in respectful discussion. After a while, I decided it was time to cool my participation there. I think of it as being in a stranger's living room when I post because, even if I know the people personally and for years with whom I'm talking, I don't know their their social media personalities. Living room guest etiquette. I haven't regretted it.
