Another Detractor

By detractor do you mean their being rude or insulting? Those are bad If your meaning someone expressing a different opinion than yours thats a good thing. That could cause both of you to think & reavaluate your position. You might learn something you hadn't thought of before. I'd be pretty booring if all we had were yes-men.

Some people are so negative about everything and they don't understand or care about anything. How do we get rid of people like that in our lives? Usually, we ignore them. Maybe he/she will go away.

There will always be someone that has nothing better to do with their time than to be a pain in the neck and cause havoc for the sane amongst us. I have no idea why they would assume that they can act like (place not so nice word here) while online. We are still people behind these computer screens of ours, and it's high time that those who wish to cause nothing but problems remembers that.

I hope this person doesn't continue to bother you. I would report it if they do. Of course, I feel that some people are just negative about everything and so they don't know any other way to act or respond.

The person is responding to the discussion not you.Why would you take what someone says in a discussion so personal? It's a discussion..people offer opinions.That is what you do in a discussion.Differances of opinion is what makes a discussion worth having . Obviously you are able to create an interest in a topic that receives a response. You should take pride in the ability to produce topics to discuss no matter what the opinions turn out to be.

It always blows me away how negative people can be. I work with this one woman and if you say it is black she will say it is white. It drives me crazy! My mom always said if you can't say something nice don't say it at all. Then again I am not one to talk as I have bad negative days. I would never think of following someones discussions just to be negative though, that strikes me as a very lonely and twisted person.

I don't know why they do it I suppose it is to irritate People and trying to start an Argument I have started to ignore People like that I really have I just can't be doing with it anymore and I wish they would leave you alone to I really don't know what we can do to stop it

That person might just be negative, I am sure if you were to check all their response you will probably find they are negative to everyone. I would not take it personally.

I have ended up taking them off of my list if they have done this to me and not just in mylot in another group I am in gather. I got tired of arguing so I blocked the from my name. I think it is silly and childish to talk negitive about someone else. I think they are hiding somrthing about themself to want to do something like this. I hope it stops worldwise.

Could you let me know in what way they detracted you? Did they just disagree with your point of view or did they insult you call you a stupid bi-, said you were descended from vemin or other such things? Is it to do something with politics or religion, because those subjects people feel strongly about and believe that if they say something nice about the person who holds the opposite view, they are being traitors to their belief. So if the person is really insulting, uses swear words and her comments are obscene, report her. Else leave her alone.

eh, don't let it get you down. Some people are just like that.

i know some people love to do it. I don't understand if some one do not like a post then why get involve in it. Yes one can always criticise but it should not be for every post and if its for every post then its not that simple criticism. I did a get a few response and I try to avoid them totally. i generally don't get back to them.

That's too bad! Anyway, don't worry yourself too much on this mylot member. I'm pretty sure you have more friends who like your posts and maybe that detractor just envies you.

I'd just ignore them. On occasion if they don't take a clue to shut up about it, just put them in their place and move on. Yea, people can disagree, but I've seen a couple of members who do nothing but trail others and slam them over nothing. Bunch of nonsense. Keep doing what you do Worldwise and if this person still stalks you, let him/her. That person will just look stupid. Plus you can use it as material. ;p

As quite a few people have said this is a discussion forum. There are many people out there and many opinions. The idea is to express your views whatever they may be in a professional and non abuse way. If the responses are negative just ignore them. If the person is abusive report them, but you said that was not the case. So you see this person's response to your discussion just pass it by , or say from the ouset "people who will not respond in a positive way please do not respond". I have seen those remarks a few times and I think it defeats the purpose of a discussion forum.

It's been said before and no doubt it will continue to be said....just ignore these posts that are negative. I believe that by ignoring these people they have nothing to gain. I also believe that Mylot is no place for negativity of any kind...that's how problems begin. Unfortunately this sort of person will aways be around. I love your posts even if I cannoyt respond to all of them. You do great work...keep it up mate. Thumbs up. :)

because if the whole world thought the same about everything can you imagine what a dull place this would be ?I personaly like to get others point of view i may not feel the same way but it does make life interesting!

worldwise did you ever consider maybe this person is just trying to get a rise out of you? Maybe you unknowingly wrote something that made them mad and they are trying to get back at you. So people are just like that. I would just ignore it, you dont want them to think they are getting a rise out of you.

IGNORE!!!!!!!you are here to enjoy why, bother yourself with people who has nothing pleasant to say. my observation of people who are forever negative are those that cry for attention and to draw attention they become n..ty. worldwise not worth your time.
