was not for the money. It was to make new friends and engage in conversation. I have learned a few new things from my fellow mylotters. For the most part, it as been a wonderful experience.
I am having a problem with what I have been seeing in here lately. Certain people having no regard for their fellow human beings. Certain people leaving disgusting responses, full of hatred, ignorance and abominable remarks.
There is a diversity of people here in mylot. People of all races, religions, beliefs and political views. Just because one doesn't agree with someone doesn't give them the right to harass, stalk or say nasty things in their responses. It is this same diversity that makes not only mylot, but this earth a more interesting place to live. It is also, unfortunately, the reason there is so much pain on this earth because people do not want to or know how to accept that not everyone is the same, we all are different in one way or another.
I have, twice now, reported someone as being abusive in here. I don't take this responsibility lightly. I would ask that you do not either. If you see someone being downright abusive to someone, I am asking that you report them to mylot. It only takes a minute. It is the only way we can keep mylot as a community that will not tolerate the haters in here. Maybe we, as "citizens of the world and mylot" can help police our own community to make it the safe haven for discussions that it is supposed to be.
Thank you for reading and God Bless.

You are one fo the reason I stay on My Lot. As for the people that leave disgusting responses, full of hatred, ignorance and abominable remarks, they will leave MY Lot soon because they have a short attention span and go back to the dark roon they sit in!!

I personally started coming here to mylot to learn about different things that people are willing to share. It is always nice to be able to read how other people deal with some of lifes difficult areas.
Every time I see someone posting something that is disrespectful or nasty to another person I do report it. I think that is the only way to make sure that mylot stays an open forum where people feel that their opinions matter.

I think it would be nice if more people could be nice to others, it is a good thing that when someone is not nice it can be reported so that that poster does not keep being mean to others.
I personally like people, I may not agree with someone on something or I may not like something they are doing,
But unless they ask my opinion on something I am not going to say much, about anything that could cause someone else to be offended.
I like to think that if I treat others the way I desire to be treated that then I will be treated well.
At any rate being mean to others is just uncalled for, there is more than enough meanness in the world it would be nice for everyone to learn the art of being kind,
Great topic by the way;
Hope you are having a great day,

I joined here as it was presented to me as a networking site.I have been on networking sites before and enjoy making friends ,interacting with people and learning new things. I think there will always be a few abusers.One lot will leave and a new one will follow.If I find someone unnecessarily offensive towards others ,then I would negatively rate them or report them if they are excessively offensive.As long as the majority are fun loving,guidelines respecting people this site will continue to be enjoyable.

I am new to mylot only been here a month and I have yet to have any kind of problem from anyone. At first I did join for the money as I am not in a good money sitution but I too have found myself meeting great people and really enjoying the posts I find.
And it is sad to know there are people who are on here just to make others be sad or angry. This world is slowly becoming more unsafe,and more people are becoming more mean just because they can. But if we true mylotters stop them now we can still enjoy this place.
