I am very flattered...My star rating has gone down....

Will do, I agree with you on how people react. Nah you are not bragging, you should be proud of your star. I like the purple actually. I will be there for you as you are for me thanks. Thanks for the comment. Ainge

Hi Subha12, your pink star goes with your avatar :) it's pretty!

I think you should see it as a compliment, they cared enough to do that, they took all that time to go through all of your discussions, and well you upset them enough it mattered to them. Pretty impressive, your star matches your picture that is awesome, however I gave you a plus just because I liked your comment. Thank you for responding, Ainge

Well we can all say Quack together then. It was just a comment I needed to make because I love the new color. It is great. I like blue. Take care and have a great day and thanks for the post. Ainge

Thank you Trace for your lovely comments. I like the color of the star too to be honest. I very much agree, I think they should get rid of them anyway. We are not our stars, we are the star. Thanks for the comment. Cheers... Ainge

Oh yes, I do actually. They got upset because I stood up for myself after comments were made to me and about me when they did not even know me. Such is life. I am a Political writer so that is a big part of it. It really doesn't matter, I will pick up the Pulitzer eventually. Thanks for the post. Ainge

Thanks, however I am never the Victim, I am the one who wins in the end. Oh joy. Thank you for your comment. Ainge

my best friend (internet) is from Queens, she is such a dear lady.

I agree Rose, I think we would get along great. I am fortunate to have this attitude and have a lot of fun with it. The one thing about us "elitist" New Yorkers as I have been called is we know what is truly worth being upset about, such as the 9-11 bombings and what not to be upset about. This is a computer, it does not rule my life. This is a discussion forum, a place to meet people, share opinions, and grow. I choose to focus on the positive not the negatives. All the negative does is depress people. I thought I would have fun with this. Thanks for the post, keep up the good work. Ainge

I am visiting a very good friend in Queens on Sunday after a poetry reading I have been invited to. Ainge

Yes, yes I did and very positive. Thanks for the comments. Ainge

I also think it is best to ignore it, although there are times we have to walk away from the hate so it does not affect us! I do not worry too much about the star since it is out of my control! I can only try to be interesting, since I can not control other people who rate me!

I totally agree that people think we should not agree. Such is life. I live life, I walk it, life is with in me. I don't worry about the haters, they must have a job too. Thanks for your comments. Ainge

Absolutely I agree upon that. I just thought it was sweet of them to go ahead and take the time to do what they did. What a wonderful gift. I am actually very tongue and cheek in many aspects, but I did want to create a new look at the stars. Thanks for the post. Ainge

Pitgull, Excellent response. Love the hair by the way. I like the purple too, however the silver is cool. I don't know about the women against women on here, mine were not female. I think the lower the star level the more you upset people and I am all about making people think if you check out my link to my blog...I have poetry on there too. Absolutely about the center of the world thing, how often can we say that. Welcome to MyLot you will find most of the people here are really great by the way. Thanks for the response. Ainge

I don't mind the stars, it was just something I wanted to post to let people know to not worry about the stars, it is not what your star is it is who you are inside. Thanks for the Post and welcome to MyLot. Ainge

How true your words ring. How they dislike me and the 1st Amendment, this MyLot, however I do wonder at times if the MyLot team is not the same as the haters. Thanks for the response. Ainge

I like the purple, it suits me better. Thanks for your comments though and yes you will get one soon I am sure, just remember you are not what your star is you are the star. Ainge

I know what upset them, I responded in a manor they did not like. Looking back on it, I should not have said what I did in some cases, but when I wrote it I meant what I said. I probably should have said it more PC on my responses. However I have a sharp tongue and most who know me on here know that. I like the new color to be honest. I don't think I will be changing my ways of speaking because that has gotten me to where I am at this time with my writing. People like that tend to do the opposite of what they are expecting to do to me. My stars are up, check out the blog on my profile and you will see why. I also got requested for a poetry corner on a Military site for my Yes Drill Sgt Sir. How exciting is that? Take care and thanks for your comments. Ainge

I do love my star color. Purple is one of my favorite colors. I figure they will get what they deserve and much like you I will keep going on. :) I figured how I worded it would be a good discussion, however check back I am sure they will comment on here as well. Woohoo lucky me. hehe Meanwhile as that happens I will be sitting here chuckling to know I upset them again. Dang I hate those bumps in the road...Thanks for the response. Ainge

Hello Great, I very much agree, my stars do not define me. I have met so many friends here on MyLot it is worth it to be here. The money is just a bonus for me to be honest. I totally agree with you on your points, thanks for responding. Ainge

Thanks there, I guess you are correct. I do understand some that are haters, my mom taught me a valuable lesson when I was growing up though, it takes to much energy to hate someone. I have lived by that policy. Have a great day, Ainge

im glad that you are living what you have learned from your mom, i have learned great values from my grandma and like your mom she believes that negativity will give you sleepless nights and heaviness in your heart. so i just keep it simple i live the way i want to live as long as i am not hurting anybody and if they hate me for that, that's their problem not mine. cannot live a life always weighing what others will see or say. that is not life,,, it is more of caging and robotic. takecare.

I agree, thank you for your response, it is a great one. I don't expect people to agree with me is the funny thing and when I comment back to them, they feel it is a personal attack. Not to say I have not done some after comments left first. However I have learned it is easier to upset them if I am nice and humor is a double bladed sword. Thanks again for your comment. I will make it back up there, but as I stated in one of my other discussions, my stars do not define me, my life does. Ainge
