A response from a new member

We can never expect such kind of answers from a matured personality. Probably he/she is still not matured in the mind. Or if they have bad past like some one teased them in the childhood, to which they could not handle that situation properly, will turn to be with such kind of answers in social forums like mylot. They will be underestimating themselves inside the mind. Those frustrations comes out when they get somebody to tease. If not guided properly such kind of people will find their better place in the nearby mental disability rehabilitation centers. But let him/her be here in mylot for sometime to show up their vulgur mind. Don't mind friend, if you start worrying about bad people, you may miss many good people. One user from Chennai, also responded to one of my discussion almost in the same manner. Her name starts with 'Vil.....' but I did not respond. There will be dogs in the street, but we should not stop walking.

that's not nice. if i were in your place id be offended. and when i get offended, i tend to fight back. i almost argued with a fellow mylotter. as if her response was not clear enough, she added a 'roll eyes' smiley. if she was in front of me and she did that, i would have poke her eyes, grab it then yank it out! (yes, i know. im a violent person)

Yes I had a rather matter of fact answer the other day from someone saying something I said wasn't humorous, but I just put it down to different cultures and not every one quite understands my Aussie humour, i just let it ride...we have a lot of different cultures and people just with different ideas...each to their own i guess....

i still have to get that kind of response but i am not asking either, so don't send me one, eyt? anyway, here's some realization that i always do when faced with negative vibes in everyday life. in regards to your situation, how much percentage you got that has a negative response? if that person is alone then it would mean that, that person simply don't like it and remember that we cannot please everyone. and ask yourself if it is really a silly question that you asked? and if it's not then that person is just trying to attract some attention. lastly, i always have this principle that as long as my happiness doesn't depend on that person then who cares. ignore that person as if you did not noticed. but that is just me.

Lucky me, never had such a response from any member here at mylot to my discussions, though I don't care if some one says like that. But what I feel about people at mylot is that they are very friendly, cautious and have good manners, they generally don't judge anything to be silly, give their best shot to reply people's discussions. Yours might be an exceptional case though, some guy might have been in a bad mood, thought I don't think silly isn't a bad remark lolz. So just take it easy and have fun mylotting :)

don't feel bad joyce there will always be some people who's main purpose in life is to go to all forums of the internet just to burn someone. i have been to many site like mylot and people like the one your talking about will always be present. just ignore them, although some of them deserves a hard kick in the soft spot ^^

I wouldn't personally respond that way. But I have seen a few responses of that nature lately. I believe it is a new member thinking if they just put in a quick little response to every post they will make money. What they don't know is these little responses don't really earn you money. Mylot is looking for quality responses not just a little one liner.

That is very arrogant of that person. I saw something yesterday in a discussion that made my blood boil. A mylotter had posted about something that had happened to her that she really needed. For some reason a poster made fun of what she had got to help herself out, and trivialized it. On top of that, when she had asked for prayers, they said they wouldn't pray because they don't pray and it is useless. Why in the world would someone leave a response like that? They should have just kept searching for discussions!

Someone said something similar to me once. I can not remember what question I asked but they responded by saying something along the lines of "I thought Mylot didnt allow discussions like this." I thought I did something wrong and asked what they meant and they said my post wasnt worthy enough (or something like that). Thankfully the majority of people have been friendly to me on here but I have come across other people who have had rude responses. I think sometimes these people just say these things because they can not think of anything else and want to get their post count up. As rubbish as that person thought my question was, it still meant he could get his post coun tup didnt it?

hi djoyce71 I havent experienced that luckily but I do feel that response was rude, and totally uncalled for. Like you said if I dont like a discussion or am not interested I bypass that one and go onto a different one. That mylotter was being unkind and just plain nasty. thats no way for an adult on mylot to act. I would have made a reply to this saying 'if you dont like this discussion why are you bothering to' respond to it?You are really being rather rude, aren't you?:

Sorry you had that happen to you. I looked at your discussions and don't think any of them are silly. Not sure which one this is referring to but I have come across replies where I wonder whether the poster understood what they were reading. And for some people this kind of rudeness seems to be how they normally are. They don't see the harm in it. I got one reply today to a reply I made. The OP misspelled something in the original discussion. She was trying to find out the meaning of a word. I tried to help out from what I knew about the word she posted pointing out that there must be either some regional use for this word or otherwise it just doesn't fit although I tried to fit it into the context. Obviously, since the word was misspelled I was led in the wrong direction. The next poster actually knew the correct spelling and what it meant. I got a 'no, not that, but that' (repeat context) type of answer from the OP. The way it came across it made me feel like a dummy because it was obvious the OP thought I didn't understand her and provided the wrong answer. No apology for misspelling the word. Just a 'dumb you' kind of reply. Point is, people reply without thinking about how their reply may come across to the average person. Don't dwell on it. Move on. It's either some kid/troll trying to mess with you or somebody who in real life is used to talking like that among his/her peers.

I have the same experience. After i started a discussion "why my earning comes from 2.02 to 1.92", i received a response which was most offensive. I remembered it said "you are stupid. your eye is going bad, you should go to hospital to examine it. Your discussion must be disgusting..." I feel very annoyed. If you don't like my discussion, you can go and don't respond. There is no need to hurt me. I am very angry so i report it as abuse.

One time I posted "welcome to mylot" at the end of one of my responses in a discussion because the person had not yet reached 100 posts. They were offended because they had been a member for a couple of months.... Offended because they felt they weren't new here. You can't please everyone all of the time so don't sweat it djoyce!

Aww, don't take it so seriously. Obviously, the person who said that simply is not capable of using readable spelling, so I would never take advice from them anyway. Forget about it! I wouldn't even bother noticing it.

yeah,il do the same, if i dont like the topic, il leave it there and find another one. well,if he responded that way just leave it there maybe you gave him real happiness by responding that way.... receiving that kind of response will affect me too much of course but we have nothing to do. this is a public discussion, so whether you like it or not you have to accept their response... wheeew, its a good thing i never experienced being responded like that.... good luck

[i]Hi djoyce, wow...really? hmm...I will never use that word either to anyone here not unless to my close friend who is my referral since we know that when we are doing it, we are teasing in a way! ANyway, I never encounter anyone who did that to me and if ever I will, I will see myself talking back and explaining to him or her that I am not silly and that, I want to hear and learned from other people that is why I am asking! Anyway, or maybe I will just ignore also the person and wish he or she will not drop by again in any of my post![/i]

djoyce71, Just accept it as some pathetic individual's ranting. We just do not need to spoil our day by even bothering with replying to such individuals. I am sure there will be other members who will see the issue in the same light as you. In any case and always stay happy and be positive minded. Remind yourself that there are other wonderful members and better responses. Also, you may want to rate a negative for such "I" and just move on with the other better responses. Take care and stay happy. Have a great day.

I tell you something ... let him say what he has to say, and God Bless us all ! Those hind of answers, this 'opposition' is common, I face it every day. In the real life, not only on the internet. Let me tell you something funny : Somebody heard me talking don't know what about Freud. Don't remember. Day two later I could hear him say: " What the fu** do we need those corpse ?! Freud, Mozart, Shakespeare ?! Times have changed! I wonder why some idiots talk about those suckers so loud !?" Well, what do you say about that? So, please, consider this kind of comment ... every day routine. They are free to answer if they want to. Is democracy, everybody must speak. Well, the question is: Do we have to hear them? No, especially when they don't explain themselves, they just throw the stone and vanish ...

yes it is really very bad when we get this kind of comments and i think there are a few people who are very weired and dont think of others. even i have experienced once there was a discussion who was asking in a discussion to improve his earnings and all and he/she was new to the site and me with the intention of helping i responded to the discussion and i had put some earning details and i remember he had posted postings and he/she was expecting more earnings and i had written there that he/she has to write the discussions and write as much as he/she can and dont have to do postings of one or two lines. but i dont know where i was wrong and the person had replied me telling that i had written very bad and it is disgusting that i am trying tell the difference between the post and the discussion. i really felt so bad and i just didnt reply back and i really lost mood at mylotting and for two days i just didnt do mylot as i was so disappointed someone scolding me for helping them. i really understood now that there are a few people who are just not decent and gets wild very fast.

I agree with you, if it is a discussion (topic) I don't agree with I just bypass those and go on to the next one, I don't want to be offended and I don't want to offend anyone. Sometime people do get the wrong understanding of what you are saying. I have a saying that I say: "Let it roll off, like water rolling off a duck's back." Because the more you say the more they are going to say and you are going to get upset. Just let it go. Go on to you next discussion (topic)
