I don't know how everyone else is feeling about this, but I'm fed up with this. I am fed up with people leaving rude and nasty comments on discussions. Grow up, seriously.
For example: I made a discussion about how I saw a woman outside with a baby in 80 degree weather and the baby was wrapped in a blanket, and it made me mad. I got some really rude responses to that! Ok, if you disagree with me let me know. I don't care. But do it in a mature way. Say something like, "If I were you I would have stopped." But what some of you chose to do was this: "What's your problem? Why didn't you stop? You're so stupid!" Or something along those lines.
This isn't the first time this has happened, and it certainly won't be the last. I've seen this happen to other people to, and I'm fed up with it. I dont' care if you disagree with me, in fact I want you to! Because opinions are interesting, but when you start acting like a child I have to sit back and wonder what the h e double hockey sticks is happening to this world.
To sum up: if you're going to respond to my discussion, don't you dare insult me. I don't know about you, but I left that drama back in kindergarten. Grow up.
Want to report this discussion...get it deleted? Go right ahead, prove my point some more.

I whole-heartedly agree with you, Dopey22girl. It's a shame that some people are unable to participate in a discussion without making it personal. Everyone's point of view has value. Some won't agree, like you said, that's just fine; but there is no reason to resort to personal attacks to make his/her point.

well, if i'm at you place i will get mad with some of rude comment, but in myLot you have like 90 +++ people and with this so many people we have so many way of speach and knowledge, so maybe so people they used by using bad word or dirty word and for them it's normal or we call it habits, Some people well teach with the maners, and some is not. What i'm trying to say here if you have people like this, so just ignore them, mark as abuse or bad comment. Continue your good work at mylot and with their comment it's will not give use some skin deases.
So, just continue to arcive your gold and keep writing, rude people is everyware in the world and don't forget rude people also using internet and some of them is in myLot community.

I had read that dicussion of yours, the people there were pretty rude. I didn't understand what there problem was. If you didnt have the thought to go ahead and talk to the lady about her child, then its not your fault. Just because all of them would have gone and done that doesnt necessarily mean you would also have the mind to do that. So cheer up. Don't worry about the rude lots there are plenty around. just - them or report (!) them if you find them insulting. But you see everybody has the right to say their opinions, but not until they start insulting soembody. I don't remember if anybody called you stupid, but if they did, they are violating mylot guidelines and you have the right to report them.

I agree, we are not all going to agree on everything. But we can disagree without being rude to one another. Just report it when someone is rude like that to you or to anyone responding to your discussions. Probably the worse thing to do would be to keep communicating back and forth with them, that is what they want you to do. Hopefully they will top and just answer the discussions that they can contribute too.

I don't understand it either. As anyone can tell you I can completely disagree with you and still tell you in a respectful way.

Yeah, it makes me mad when people are rude too. Thankfully I haven't had a lot of people be incredibly cruel to me on my discussions, if they have something negative to say they usually say it very...gently. hehe. I'm sorry that people are rude to you though! I hope you rate them with a -! lol. And if they are REALLY bad in what they say you should def. report them and tell mylot admin you were extremly offended!
