What's the "proper" way to respond to a wall post?

I don't use Facebook much, so I'm confused.

Are you supposed to post back on the person's wall (like it was done in the old days), or post on your wall in response to their message? I'm just wondering what most people do.

I've seen people just post on the other people's wall back.

But, when I get a wall post, I usually just comment on the wall post that they posted on my wall (if that make any sense O__o).

Don't create a wall post on your own wall (the other person won't get a notification that you did so). So either comment on the wall post they sent you, or create a wall post on their wall.

Hope I helped and wasn't all that confusing

There is no proper way; it's what you feel is necessary. If you were to tell your significant other that you wanna show them your penis, you probably would do that in a private message. If you just plan on responding to a comment and not having a conversation, then you can either respond to their comment by typing in their wall, or responding to their comment on your wall. Either way, they receive a notification and it'll take the same amount of effort either way. But if you plan on having a conversation, it's better to respond to the comment and therefore you wouldn't have to go back and forth between profiles to respond. Essentially, I think the best way to respond to a comment is to respond to the comment by replying to the original comment because it just makes things more simple for you and the other person. That's what a majority of people do.

It all depends on what you prefer. For example, sometimes I will write a response on their wall, but other times I will just reply to it on what they wrote to me. Either way, as long as they get the notification, I'm okay with it.

If you want to respond to something which was on their wall, just reply to that by filling the comment space below that post. You can do the same if they have posted something on your wall too.
