Is it wrong to post questions?

It is really bad that host of the discussion did not like you questioning him/her. It was not in right spirits by him/her In a discussion, in my view, it is quite right to pose a question to the host of the discussion. You were right in asking the question. One option could have been - the host would not have posted any counter-comments at all, that would have been better, instead of writing nasty comments. Please do not take it seriously and you can possibly igonore the discussions, started by that particular member.

Yes I have experienced this. But what I have noticed for the past 2 days is that people here have not be very nice. I have had two rude and I do mean rude people respond to my discussions I was just rude back to them because it was uncalled for, I don't insult people on purpose. Not sure why this is happening, maybe they should just put in their discussions "no questions please".

Asking question is never wrong. Especially if it is ask for the sake of getting an answer that will teach you something. Just don't mind the nasty answers. What important is, there is this someone who gives you the right answer. Keep on posting!

People tend to me more rude when there a less direct connection; example: In traffic, people yell, honk, scream, cut off, call cops etc. However in line at the grocery store; you don't see that! They use their car as "their space" they are protected from you to a point, and internet discussions as in mylot.com are even more obscure. Chances they'll cross your path: never.. Blow them off like dust; be the bigger one and laugh at it..

Yeah, I have seen many of those. Seems like it is one of the trick to gather more responses and comments because, you will get back and post another comment isn't it? But at the end, I have seen that they resolved the confusion or issues with the discussion. I'll ride with them and clarify what my intention. All the best,Agihcam

hi friend, All of my friends in mylot are responding me have a + rating with me, Why, because they help me and help myLot as well. So no more reasons to rate them negative unless they are typing a bad words for me.take care.

You didn't do anything wrong. All you did was ask the writer to clarify his or her point. I do that sometimes with people here and some of them get mad but that's their deal and not mine. If this happens more than once with the same person I generally ignore them forever here. I don't answer their discussions and I don't comment when they answer mine. We're not friends anymore. People in the real world treat me poorly enough at times I don't need it from one of my online communities too.

Yes, every once in a while you will come across someone that is either angry or misunderstood what you were trying to say or is just plain rude. I usually try to resolve the situation peacefully with the person. If they still fire back negatively, I will make a mental note of that person and avoid them in the future. Most of the people here are really nice and conflicts can be solved pretty easily. There are only a couple that I just avoid...in fact i'm not even sure if they are still members. As long as you werent being rude, I wouldn't worry about it.

that's weird. i think asking question is not a mistake. the discussion starter should be happy instead of annoyed, because by asking question, it means you really read and pay attention to the topic. it's not you but he who has a problem.

I don't think that's wrong. You just post whatever from your mind. May be there will be some people will don't like, but that's their matter. Just don't border. Take a look what they said, if not suitable for you, just ignore it.

Whoever has done this to you, it is not at all good. There are people like him/her here and you have to be very careful in handling them in future. In my discussions elsewhere, if anybody asks me questions i have invariably and convincingly replied. Try to forget about what happened and keep on posting. Cheers. Happy mylotting

If I post a topic, I would always expect any kind of comments to come in and I should be ready for that. So if I would receive a response in the form of question then that would always be welcomed. If find nothing wrong with it. If I would not wanna be asked then I'd better not post anymore. I believe anyone who posts should be patient and understanding to whatever kind of responses you receive. Well as for me, should I encounter someone here who got irritated with my queries then I would mark him/her and would not dare respond to his/her discussion to avoid the same conflict. And to you, I advise to just charge it to experience and don't let that fellow spoil your good day. Cheer up and keep smiling!

I think that person should be happy you responded to them. I ask questions all the time. I figure if the person posted the discussion and I want to know more you have to ask. Then its up to the person to respond with an answer. I realize some people dont want to answer or maybe they just dont have time. Thats ok. I havent encountered this type of person yet. I am not sure what I would do.

It happened to me many times and the worse of it, they gave me a negative rating that cause my star number to fall down. But I just ignore this person, or if she happened to be in my friends' list, I delete her. There is no rule here in myLot stating that it is wrong to ask a question to the host of the discussion. Besides, anyone here can post a question. And it is normal to do so! Don't be bothered about it. Just keep on posting and speak out your thoughts! Cheers!

I tried to search for the particular discussion you are talking about but couldn't find it. Will you please write the headng of it so that I may refer to it? But as you say, there's nothing wrong in asking a question to the person who has started the discussion. That will enable you to better understand his/her question so that you may answer it better also. I personally have had some rough experiences with some newbies over here, who have just come over here for making money and don't care if they hurt others' feelings, as long as their earnings increase. I of course, reported that discussion and rated him negative. That discussion was later removed by myLot. I advise you to do the same. We don't have any place here for such foul-mouthed people. This commmunity is for thoughtful peole who share their experiences and help each other. Cheers.

Don't worry about it! MyLot is interesting because it is a community of all types of people. If you get stressed by someone rude, the only person getting hurt is you. Just feel sorry for the person who was so negative, and move on to happier discussions and nicer people :)

The idea of this site is to generate discussions. If a discussions receives a question that automatically means that it will share even more information on the topic so that will make it even better so i believe asking questions when answering on a subject it's not a bad thing.

Oh sorry to hear that sweetie! Im sure that person is just insecure of you that's why she acts that way. I don't see anything wrong in asking questions. It just mean that you are really interested in the discussion you responded to but it seems that the one who made that discussion is not open for comments or questioning. I haven't got nor encounter one but I'm sure if I did I will ignore him like a small insect. LOL

hehehe because some people are rude & that's there nature lol or maybe they just misinterpreted your post that's why she get mad lol

I think that person is stupid, sorry for the word. The purpose of myLot is to have discussions...that's why it's called a discussion, duh! If a questions prompts another person to ask then voila! We have a long discussion on the way to answer questions, express opinions, and arrive at an answer.
