I also realize regardless of whether those numbers are accurate or not, she should have kept that information to herself. However, is it necessary to spew venom and make snarky comments? Let's assume she's a mom/grandma/aunt whatever whose daughter was keeping her updated (right or wrong) and she didn't realize it was a no-no to put those stats on here. I think there is a friendly way to let her know that. There's really no need for profanity or reprimands. If you read her comment, it did not seem mean spirited in the least.
No. Please, just NO. Just stop. And there wasn't any profanity or reprimanding, so you can let that go too.

I do not assume that. Membership selection is private. Someone is shooting off their mouth, and shouldn't be.

The LAST thing we need is a whole lot of gossip/misinformation/rumors being spouted as fact.
