Do you ever feel that when you respond to discussions that the writer make you feel that you have no right to say the things that you do. I have been on MYLOT for 9 days and I will spent days just responding to discussions because I will think of a topic and then there it is staring at you on the screen so I respond. When you give your opinion only to have the writer dismissing you in a way that make you wonder why are you even on MYLOT. Some of the replies make you so frustrated that sometimes you want to quit. What do you think?

I've seen discussions where people do that before.
Hopefully I have never been guilty of that.
Most times I try to chat back and forth with
everyone who drops by my discussion.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
It's nice to share!

I believe that as long as you have something to share, you have the right to state it but always put them in a nice way. And if other's would respond in a rude manner at you, then let them and put in mind to NOT participate in any of their discussions anymore. There are lots of GOOD members here, just do your best and participate on other's discussions. You'll come across with tons of them (good) members, don't let those BAD members pull you down..

Yes. Some people do reply with frustrating comment. However, for me though, they're their comments and their points of view. It's fine if they say something about a comments. It some do make you feel bad about what you say. But just let them be. :) But if they hit below the belt, that's the time to act. That's my opinion. take care!

You just reminded me of this sentence again: if something can be misunderstood, it will be misunderstood. Everybody has their way of interpreting the posts. Thus there is not that much we can do about it. And that's also why I try not to respond to some sensitive discussion. I have been misunderstood for a couple of times. It's frustrated. However most of the people here are friendly to others. Just be joyful

I have been on here for a few months and yes there are some conflicts in different discussions but you do have a say and you do have an opinion so speak out. Sometimes yes the reply back is something that you are not looking forward to but take it with a grain of salt. That is the best thing. You will learn not to press the issue anymore and just leave it at that as well. Happy posting.

Hi!
I do encounter this, too. Sometimes I get frustrated too but it never occur to my mind to quit here in MyLot. I just keep in mind that everybody has their own opinions and they are all entitled to it. So I just understand it.
I love Mylot and I am enjoying it here very much.

I also experience it and I also feel awful when people make me feel that I don't know anything on that topic.
I think people should try to acknowledge even for the simple ways the effort that we do on responding to their discussions. Specially when thier post are just like asking questions. They should have be happy on those like us who respond to them and share what the little things we know.

I think there needs to be an understanding that if you start a discussion here asking for advice or not that this a discussion board open to anyone and you WILL most definately receive opinions and/or advice that you do not agree with. I think it's ridiculous to have "virtual arguments", but it's bound to happen.
I have seen some of the discussions you are referring to Kerriannc, and it is frustrating. However, try to remember that we are lucky to speak so freely.
