Do you censor your Facebook page?

Ok, so I posted something on my Facebook business page that one of my "followers" evidently takes exception to -- and this is not the first time-- so I'm wondering, do you censor things that disagree with your point or blatently challenge and try to instigate dissension?

I do post opinion pieces and do not hide that fact that I'm a Christian on my business page. It's part of who I am, so my urge is to remove it, it's my page! What do you think?

I don't have a business page, but I do post Etsy listings and blog posts on my Facebook page. I do not censor my postings, I'm quite vocal about social issues, and I believe that has hurt me - business wise.

i would also remove it...i actually banned someone from one of my pages after they kept posting annoying stuff on it....really, it is your page, you get to set the tone.

it isn't censoring-it's monitoring--it's your business! literally! don't let some grumpy gus mess it up ;-)

Personally, for business pages and my blogs, I keep it strictly about my business and my art. That is a personal decision which I have made but I still believe it allows people to get to know me without making offense to any potential customer. That being said, I believe everyone has a right to their own opinions and beliefs.

There's a difference between starting a discussion and starting a fight. If someone wants to start a discussion about a post I made I won't delete it. If they want to start a fight I will.

Yes I do. I try to keep anything controversial out of it, but if someone becomes offended by something I say, I just delete the post. It's not the place for strife.

For my business page, it is strictly business - I wouldn't post my political or religious beliefs on it - those get held for my personal page.

Yes, but do they have the right to voice them on somebody elses FB page, where they know their opinion differs from the page owner?
