Do rude or judgemental replies to your discussions bother you?

I don't understand why people are so rude in the first place, but if and when they make rude comments to me, I just ignore them. There isn't any sense in commenting back, since that is probably what they are wanting in the first place. There is no reason to give them a reason to make another rude comment.

Ijust signed up a day or so ago, I am not too sure if it has happened to me. but I am sure it will eventually. I have a tendancy to let it just roll off my shoulders. Like you said everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But take it for wht it is. Someone elses opinion not my own. I know many are offended by seeing a few discussions on people threatening to leav mylot today. It is sad that a complete stranger can upset someone enough to affect them that way. Some people I guess have no tact. But the bad always comes with the good.

It all depends on the comment. Sometimes, I try to explain my point of view better. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my discussion or did not remember to put in all of the facts. Other times, I can see their point of view and will say so; but, I qualify the statement with an explanation of why they may be the "exception to the rule" and not everyone else is like them. If they are just "being rude to be rude" and don't have a valid point to make, I ignore them.

to tell the truth,sometimes it will.but I also know that different people have different idea.so I try to understand their response on their stand.thus I think we can have a good communication with our friends.

I always reply to rude messages, just to depend myself. I mean, if they are entitled to their opinion...then most specially I have the right to depend mine. :)

The first day I entered myLot I got into some heavy stuff with people about God. I got some pretty negative responses right off the bat, but it didn't scare me off. I like hearing what other people are thinking, it gives me perspective. I read alot of discussions where people are fed up with discussions. I don't join it if I don't want to, simple as that.

If you post something, people are going to judge you. I see nothing wrong with voicing the opinions, especially when its something really silly or dumb, instead of just keeping it inside for the sake of internet "friends".

It honestly depends on my mood. Sometimes I just ignore them and other times I get so teed off. I have to stop posting and cool off. Once I have controlled myslef I either think forget it or I go back and tell them what I think. I know I could make another enemy who will sabotage me like the last one. As my life does not revolve around mL I don't care what they do..I am here for fun

Like you, I just ignor them and go on like they never even made the comment. It doesnt happen to much so far for me. One just never knows when it will happen though. We are wide open to various kinds of people here on mylot.

I think that what I want to post I post. So like that who ever wants to responce will put the responce! If it is rude or judgemental or anything, but I have to be clear in my point of view! Other things does not bother me much. If I found the responce odd or little touch of abusement then I will deny or stop the person! I consider my freedom as well as others but at the same time certain norms should be followed!

Rude responses often bothers me. But judgemental ones would usually be fine with me because I think that all people are entitled to their own opinions and ideas. However, rudeness is very crass when people are trying their hearts out to share what they know, what they experienced, etc. Although we are free to express our own idea about any matter, we should always remember to maintain a certain level of graciousness to anyone.

I don't let it bother me too much. Now, if I see that someone is really hurting and needing advice and I see that someone has responded in what I think is a hurtful or uncompassionate way that borders on cruelty, I will say something. I think that we are all entitled to our opinions, but we do not have to be mean or cruel to one another. If you don't agree with someone that is fine, you don't have to, but you don't have to be hateful, rude, judgemental or cruel to that person either. Just state your opinion and leave it at that. Personally attacking someone is completely unnecessary.

Sometimes I give in and reply back to them, but I don't think that makes me any better than them, so lately I've tried to skip over them and not dignify them with a response-but that is so hard!

i am a newer and such thing hasn`t happened to me.but i don`t think i will feel good ,though i ignor them.nobody likes be offended by no reason .i hope everybody won`t do that to make other unhappy.

Its never really happened to me but Id say just ignore it too. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and often times what they respond is not even really their opinion. So its better to just take it with a pinch of salt and keep mylotting away.

I usually just ignore them. If someone is really mean and just saying like the f word over and over I will report it. I cam across one yesterday where the person just said, you are a f***** idiot, like 100 times. What kind of reply is that?? So I reported it because they shouldn't get credit for posting things like that. But if it is just a difference of opinions I leave it alone, we all think differently and that is okay =)

Hi,cynddvs! I have not encountered this problem since I became a Mylotter,but if I meet this reply,I will ignore it.Well I don't want to think it more because I think every Mylotter should show their opinions to my discussion and I have no right to change their minds.Though some responses are rude or judgemental,I will let it be.

They should be tackeled the way they are.

I just follow one rule- If the reply is genuinely true accept it otherwise leave it as it is. Why bother and get upset over others replies. I just look for the things which I never knew from the disagreeing replies. If I find something I absorb otherwise just dont reply anything else.

As everyone is entitled to "their" opinion, SO ARE YOU! Jump in and post your defense if that's what you feel. Too many people online seem to hide behind the computer and blurt out what they might not otherwise do in person. Say what's on your mind Cynddvs...you have rights to your opinion too!
