My colleague made a public post on my personal facebook wall?

It isn't acceptable to do this - it shows a lack of professionalism and a lack of judgement. It was rude and unfair.

However, it was wrong of you to ask a colleague to pass on that message. Not only do company rules and regulations normally state that you must advise your supervisor or manager if you are not going into work, but it was disrespectful to take a day off without advising anyone higher up the ladder.

What do you do about it? Probably nothing, as anything you do will inflame the situation even more. You could apologise for not contacting a higher member of staff, and add that you didn't appreciate the Facebook comment, but don't expect to get an apology. However, I would certainly make sure that your manager sees the comments made by the other member of staff.
