My Mom, who wouldn't post anything offensive but frequently posts embarrassing TMI-type stuff, will get annoyed if I delete anything she writes and will invariably comment on its absence.

Call 'em out on it! I have a range of FB friends and it's pretty common for someone to say something offensive/insensitive. I try to use these opportunities to open dialogue. You might be surprised at how confronting these situations on FB can make you more bold in confronting similar situations in public.

An erstwhile GC member (who is pretty liberal) and one of my older sorority sisters who is a tad to the right of John Birch got into it one day. Don't know who all remembers that but it was rather amusing. This older sister is the only one who has ever said anything that I've had to delete on my wall, and I've done it several times. She's very...I suppose "strident" is the word. I'm sure she would pitch a bitch if I deleted her though (I have no problem imagining that she keeps a spreadsheet full of her FB friends) so I just hide her in my feed.
