“That was the most incredible game of basketball I have ever seen in my life. Incredibly bad. “

However, there is a set of unwritten rules—or perhaps they are just my pet peeves—of what’s acceptable and what’s not on a Facebook page. It’s time these rules be written down and my pet peeves be addressed.
