Did your opinion change once you hit 100 posts?

Hi, I have not faced any Rude or Insulting responses from Mylotters whenever I have started a Discussion. So I am quite shocked to know of such a thing . As for me I am always Polite and supporting of others on MyLot . Have a great Day .

Okay the is my FIRST post and I intend to make it a great one! I think it was wrong for whomever it was to purposely dish out malicious comments like they did but, they could just be ignorant and didn't understand the whole article so I try to be a lil forgiving. Another thought, when the time & place comes... I can be mean, I can be mean as all hell and I don't like people telling me to shut up, or to be considerate, because I do NOT live in America to hear garbage like that! I'm not going to be the type of person who damages themselves from keeping to many things bottled up inside, forget that! If you do something that gets to me... believe me, You're Gonna Find Out! but that goes both ways so don't think I won't run all the way down the street just to ask about your jeans!

Well, I try to be honest, but not be mean if I don't agree. There are just people out there who like to be rude, they like the attention. Also, it could just be an off day for that person too... I know I've done that before.

I was always just the same as I am now. It's because I take everything way too seriously, to be honest. That might not seem to be the case, with all my flirting and silliness, but what I mean by that is... I am the same person in all worlds. Online or offline, I am me. So I treat everyone I see online just the same as I would treat them if I met them offline, whether I am being rated or not. It's an honor thing for me. Sometimes I look at others and wonder if perhaps they have no honor, but I treat them as my own honor requires just the same.

The thing that gets me is just people who continue to argue opinions. You can't argue opinions because no one will win you know. People just don't realize that. My opinion hasn't changed on mylotters actually. I still think they're all stupid :p I think every day on mylot people continue to be ridiculously predictable which is just ridiculous... ridiculously ridiculous!

I'm me and always will be, as you know Vic. We might not agree on a particular subject, but I would never turn rude on somebody unless they have a go at me first. That have and will never change. My fav quote is: Be to others as you want others to be to you.

My responses are always in synch with my thoughts and in my part i've never changed the way i give my responses...might be those people wanted to just give some long responses to make money and hence it happened like this to you...i feel very sorry for you in that part!! Anyways there are many polite people over here still!! Happy Mylotting :)

Yes. When I reached 100 posts I realized that it's very important the way to write discussions or responses, so now I pay more attention when I write and I try to write posts of at least two lines.

I think that your opinion didn't change after you hit 100 posts, Its just that you have to have the right attitude to participate in discussions here. The ones that were so rude to you didn't have the right attitude to begin with, that's why they don't have as many posts, and probably don't get as many responses to their discussions. A negative attitude will ruin everything for a person, so just keep your attitude positive and ignore negativity.

This is a good point to raise Vicki. Thankfully I have not had the experience of anyone being rude...knock on wood!!! However I do notice that members who are not interested in creating a sharing circle or participating in more thought provoking discussions often drop by with a quick, flip answer and upon occasion there is no relevance whatsoever to the topic. From what I have read some newer members heard you could make money by posting on Mylot and they flip around to as many sites as possible and think that the credits will increase their earnings. When it doesn't I think they lose interest and then comes another bunch of newbies that do the same thing. It seems the members who want to engage in respectful dialog with each other are willing to invest the time and energy to respond in more thoughtful ways. In my case the approach I have in chatting on line is the same as it is in person. I was raised to treat ALL people with dignity and respect. My value system and moral compass is grounded in that and so I communicate with people on line...with the Golden Rule as my yardstick. I treat others the way I'd like to be treated and in the 'what goes around comes around principle' it has always worked out in the end. So that is my perspective on this one...so long for now! Best regards, Raia

Soem people have a mean and rude streak imbedded in them. My advice to you though is not to take it personally and continue to do your posting because there are real nice and decent people on Mylot who will treat you with respect and love. Sorry that you had to endure their meanness though. God bless!

Sometimes I think either people don't read the entire post or they may not have a kind word to say in the first place. Sometimes, I've found people will respond just to make their number go up. I don't think it's fair. I guess it takes all kinds. I don't expect everyone to always have to same opinion all the time but there are ways to say things and still be polite. But like I said, it takes all kinds.

Rate? what is the rate? Im sorry Im new in here. But I believe that even we are rated or not, we should always be polite with other people whether we know them well or not. Because the things that we say can affect other people in some ways. Its good to give thoughts and opinion without offending or hurting someone. Can I have good friends here?

I dint change when I hit 100 but I still sometimes feel like I dont want to disagree but I have to and feel my rating will refect it at sometime even though I never directly insult or anything close to that I question peoples reasoning and I feel they wont like that. I sometimes just go away but I feel if we disagree than maybe we can have a long conversation about why we dont agree and maybe make some cents out of it or maybe even make some sense out of it lol.

I have always kept my opinion, but sometimes I find when the post was very long, I did not get what it was about because the poster rambled on about her poor kitty, her being at the store when the red car drove by, and I did not know what they were asking, so I just read between the lines and gave my opinion on what she could do, or what she should have done. After all, I have had that happen to me many times. I do not worry what people would think, because that leads to writing the answers that they want, and I do not want to do that. I am usually polite though, but I will not change what I believe is right or wrong because someone or some will get angry that I did not agree with them.

I've been quite lucky so far. I haven't had any specially rude answers to my discussions - hope it stays that way LOL But I think that some new poster that are still not really aware of how myLot works can sometimes answer a bit more impulsively and without the necessary tact. Then as they are her more and start being aware of the environment in here they tone it down a bit. Of course there will always be people that are rude - but those know they won't get more in terms of responses or comments.

Hello Dear,we are the humans and we have to know how to live together!!One of the most important thing in our living is to have relations with other peoples!!Primary we have to be polite in our relations!!Rude people have a serious problem with themselves!!Warm Regards Silvana

Usually I haven't run into too many issues and I don't give anyone problems on it at all. I haven't yet and I don't intend to at all. I don't change the way I post, I'm generally plite and easy to get along with. I just try to be myself and that's it. There's really nothing else I could possibly do.

For me personally, my style of posting has not changed since my very first discussion here at myLot. I think people are either rude or their not. That is not saying that everyone doesn't have an "off" or sensitive day. But for the most part you can tell which posters are which.

I just reached my first one hundred posts, i'm so proud of myself. I'm quite lucky i haven't got any rude remarks yet and hope i ever won't. From what i've read from here those who post rude comments are people pissed off with bad spellings and most especially redundant and super non-sense questions/discussions. I just wish for them to ignore and move on to other posts rather than commenting rudely. Let's give everybody here a chance.
