Summary/Abstract: This paper provides a brief description of opinions of Facebook users on a specific example of comments to a few selected fanpages. All chosen comments are official statements of non‑anonymous Internet users and create a range of language behavior in social media. The author tries to assess whether the „courtesy” of selected judgments stems from moral motives of their authors, or perhaps with generally accepted „netiquette”.
