First of all Im a woman. And I was not being rude to you. Your new learn the rules around here. And if you cant take the heat get of the kitchen.LOL You have to read the whole discussion not just one or two lines. Learn how to take advise. Or you wont make it around here. And get a sense of humor.Hahahahhahah Now have a great day or evening.

If this is the Terry you meant, I can vouch that she was not being rude. I've known Terry in 2 forums for several months now, and have seen her be rude to no one.
There are some rude people here, but most of them are considered "forum trolls" and their only purpose here is to anger people for their personal amusement. Try to ignore those types.
Sometimes there are language barriers and misunderstandings because of them, those usually get worked out tho.
Most people here are really nice. I'm sure you'll like it here.

I read that discussion. Terry was not rude, and Terry is NOT a man. You hadn't read the whole discussion and posted a reply that made no sense. She simply asked you to read the entire discussion. I have to tell you, that talking badly about other mylotters for no reason won't give you good ratings.

Hello Ken, welcome to myLot. :)
You must remember that myLot is a very diverse community of people from many different countries, races, cultures, religions, beliefs, etc. It is like a group of the world concentrated here.
I do not know who exactly you communicated with and I honestly have no interest to poke my nose into an affair not my own. But let's just say that there are all kinds of people here.
There will be nice ones, not so nice ones, nice ones who are occasionally stressed/depressed and so become not nice, not nice ones who suddenly felt like being nice, etc.
My point is, like anywhere else, we are all different. Just take each conversation with a pinch of salt. Give it more time, Ken, don't mind me saying you are still relatively new here. After a few more weeks or months of knowing and interacting with more people, you will have a more informed decision of whether you like it here at myLot or not.
Cheers. :D

Hey Ken there are idiots on here like everywhere else, Terry isn't one of them. She is right you really have to learn how to take the people on here. Whatever you do don't take things to heart or you will be more stressed out than before. Most of the things on here are really laid back meant for a laugh and joking around, although there are some quite serious conversations. Get a feel for things and read or re-read the guidelines so you know what you can and can't say and do. This will help with any rude comments. Don't be shocked if someone is bashing you for an opinion because if you are on here long enough it will happen.:)

While there are some rude people out there, most of the time the arguements and discussions are quite healthy and informative. If someone is unnecessarily rude to you just ignore them, unless they repeat it when you can message them as to what the problem is. If there is a very rude / obscene discussion, report it to MyLot.

Being rude is not normal at MyLot. "Terry" must not have the patience to respond correctly or he is just a rude person.I have found that the rude people don't last long here.Besides you can either mark the response with a - or if the response was really bad, you can mark it with a !

You took your docs advice by going on mylot. I guess you need to learn to take advices too from others on mylot. From what I know, I haven't met anyone thats being rude on mylot. Your just making everything hard on yourself if you don't know what JOKE meant.
