I'm getting seriously bullied by two people on Facebook.
It might be a simple "ignore," but one of them is none other than my sister. I had the "audacity" of posting a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt - a very good quote that someone posted for me in here earlier this week - as my status update. She, and a college "friend" of mine who I will likely have to kick off my friends list, decided to take it personally and have become just plain awful. I won't respond to them anymore, but if there's anyone who wouldn't mind calling out these two, I'd appreciate it.

1. Just drop them from your friend list.
I did that to somebody earlier this summer. She thought it was because I couldn't take "the truth" coming from her coke-addled right-wing brain. Actually, it was just because the stupid hurt so very very much that I didn't want anybody else on my list to be subjected to it.

21. Kick her ass
There's very few family problems that domestic violence won't solve. (metaphorically speaking, of course).

9. Yeah... my immediately family (except for my dad) have problems with boundaries ...
and treating other peoples' emotions with contempt.

My extended family is great, though, so it makes ignoring my sisters and my mom extremely difficult.

I haven't spoken to my dad about this, but I'm very tempted to... I don't know what good it would do, though, because these three women support each other's narcissism. It's a fairly impossible situation.

6. Just delete their comments. If they won't quit restrict their ability to post
on your wall. If that doesn't do it, well, you know what to do.

22. I just deleted my sister's comments and she reacted very childishly.
I think she just de-friended me.

10. What in the world did Eleanor Roosevelt say that got them so upset?
Good grief! I'm just curious.

12. Wow. And they took it personally, huh?
Kinda shows a bit more self-awareness on their parts than I would have given them credit for.
Block them from your page somehow. I know nothing about how Facebook works, but I think the other posters on this thread have some good ideas.
And, by the way, just because she's your sister, she doesn't have the right to bully you!

13. No, she doesn't have the right. But she's also a 46 year-old woman who hasn't yet grown up.
Both she and my 43 year-old sister have no sense of boundaries are are jealous, contemptible people. I'm 34, and I'm glad they'll be gone well before me.

and tell our friends to pass it around.

24. Kick their asses to the curb.
Who cares if one of them is your sister -- drop her!

They are being extremely childish, and you don't have to put up with their shit. They both sound like bullies...you don't need them as friends.
