I post topics for discussions here in mylot but many responses are very judgemental. Some people just conclude something about me, some tend to become rude, still some like to show off even though i think they are somewhat wrong. I still consider myself new here but sometimes some poele make me feel unwelcomed here. Can you tell me what should I do to avoid argueing with others? How do you deal with people like these?

I don't jusge others by their topics, or anything else. It really and truly is what you are all about that matters! I have dealt with people like this befoe and I just tend to let it go. It is not worth getting upset or nasty with anyone. I know that it is easier said than done sometimes. But, it really is the best thing to do if you can.

Yes,we can judge people here by their topics,discussions,their responses.If we read minimum hundreds of his/her discussions and responses we can judge a lot of things about his/her mind,thoughts process,attitude,personality traits.PSYCHOLINGUISTIC is a new branch to study a person from his/her language,mainly the way it is used.Give me hundreds of one person's witting and I'll try to amaze you with this research.

I dont judge people just by how their post or make comments here. We just need to respect what other's opinions are.

I do not need to respect other people's opinions if, in my opinion, it is an opinion that reflects ignorance. Perhaps what you really meant to say here is that we need to respect other people's right to their own opinion?

nope.i don't judge people at all whatever their posts and opinions may be.i understand and respect whatever it is that they have to say because all of us are brought differently.the fact that each of us is unique is reason enough for me to understand others' sentiments on certain issues and topics.don't take things personally here.i mean people are more wonderful here as compared to other sites when they can be really mean to you and say nasty things to you upfront.
happy mylotting!

We are all humans and equal, whoever we are we are not supposed to judge anyone. What you said is just fair and considerate to others. In this discussion, there is one who is judgemental, i dont want to be rude though, fortunately i have people like you who gives enlightment to me and those undergoing the same situation as I am. Have a nice day. :)

Each and every member of my lot is entitled to his or her opinion. I'm happy that until this moment, no one dared to question the things I posted here. I'm also new here and as you can see, I haven't reach 80 posts yet. For me I don't care whatever other will say as long as I'm not arguing with them. There might be some instances where we get carried away by the topic then we found that someone's opinion is different or in conflict with what we think, then we should just let it that way. As the saying goes, you can not please everybody so just stick with your opinion. Let the judgmental ones eat their heart out. In the first place, we are not really here to argue or look for enemies but we are here to earn money. Socialization comes secondary to that. My advice to you is that just stay humble, don't think that you are unwelcome in mylot. As long as you're happy with this site and you are not saying foul words against others, then just continue responding to discussions. Convince yourself not to get affected by what others tell about you. Besides who knows yourself better than you, right? Hope I did help you a bit.

Very true that no-one knows us better than ourselves.
I let the statements slide by when I see them is all.
I just move on and forget them to avoid arguments here.

oh well thats correct, we all have individual differences hence, we think different from each other. When others dont respect your opinion or ideas, sometimes it makes us feel bad even though how hard we try to be humble. well for new members like us, maybe its our adaptation period to undergo things like this. Happy posting

Want to know what also makes you feel unwelcome? When a member of MyLot sends you a friend request then once you approve them as a friend you then go visit one of their latest discussions and leave a friendly reply/comment in regards to their discussion then later you find that they respond back with a rude reply for no apparent reason, like they are looking to fight you or something or they talk down to you like you're a 3 year old or they are always yelling in caps or using explanation points at the end of every sentence like they are mad at you for leaving a comment on their discussion.. I mean seriously, why do you send somebody a friend request if all you're going to do is be really rude to them when they are nice enough to accept you're friend request & politely respond to one of you're discussions? I just don't understand people like that. Now seriously, I believe we should have a great time on this site & everyone should treat everyone with common respect. And to be honest, Yes I am judgmental in regards to some MyLot members, but only when they are unfairly being mean jerks to other MyLot members for no apparent reason . You ask how to avoid arguing with others? Just ignore then, but if they are harassing you, you should report them to MyLot. MyLot encourages it's members to report any user that is being harassing towards other MyLot users. So don't think you have to put up with abuse here, just report it.

I was invited here in mylot by a very special friend, at first i find this place a place to learn where many professionals, concerned people friends share knowlege and thoughts. How sad to hear that situation, i hope those kind of people stop that kind of intimidation. I have posted some topics here that has taken the attention of people who are very judgemental, for what? I just dont know their reason why they just cant respect you for your opinion, they judge you because they tend to compare themselves to you, they want to be better than you and feel better if they could ruin your discussion.Well I'll try to feel good staying here in mylot, thanks for being one of those gentle people here that are considerate and fair. Have a nice day.

Wow. I never thought that some myLot members could be that rude to each other. Luckily, I find most of the members in this site the nicest and most polite people ever! Let's just ignore these arrogant few and mingle with the majority who are decent and well-mannered.

Hello kens! I don't judge people through their post actually. As you can see mylot is a very big community and there are many kinds of personality. Actually, I have never encountered members like that for my two months of participating here. I guess you should remain humble as you are. If you unintentionally offended someone, apologize even if it is not your fault. Just to be out of trouble. Others will really try to pull you down. But don't be affected. Continue posting here and many members here will welcome you. Welcome to the mylot community!

Welcome to myLot kens425!
I don't take things to heart that people say here. To have a discussion you do not have to be in agreement. But I concur with the fact that one does not need to be rude to anyone, anywhere.
There is no need to make someone feel unwelcome either.
Please keep posting on myLot there are more good people than bad here at least that is what I have found!! :-)

Aww thanks Kens425!
Ya I find that not saying anything at all is usually the best policy. I do it in all walks of life. Even when people tick me off to my face. I am not perfect though. I am known for telling you what I think as well if you ask. Sometimes even if you don't ask!! LOL

I don't judge people thru their posts here in mylot however we can feel what kind of person he/she thru her posts or what seemingly her attitude is, but we take it as our opinion and maybe keep for ourselves unless we are asked. I post negative comments if I feel it's the comment I believed right but giving contradicting opinion as long as properly expressed is not getting rude. Just go on with your post and expect that not all comments are positive. If you think they're wrong you can correct them in a nice way. I'm also new just a week old but so far I did'nt encounter such, however there is one negative comment but I just think, he's entitled to his own opinion.

That is true bing, we could keep our judgement to ourselves, thats fair, if they ask us, we could tell. Negative comments can be constructive as long as it is properly delivered as you said. I believe you are a good person, right now i have my own judgement of you but it is a proper thing for me to keep it a secret. Have fun and meet you sometime here in mylot. Thanks for the post.

Yes, I do judge people by their posts. Take you for example. From the last post of yours I responded to I judged you as not comfortable in social interactions, argumentative, judgmental, and something of a showoff. And I bet you can be pretty rude on occasion too. But so what?? Does my opinion of you effect your life in ANY way?? No it does not.
If you don't want to argue with people then just don't argue with them! Jeez!
And there is no reason for you to feel unwelcome. You will be fine. Just relax and and have a good time!

Well I can be rude too if the person i'm talking is rude at me, how can you say i'm not comfortable in social interactions, or arguementative etc, you do not even know me yet, i'm a person of many social affiliations. In fact it is you that is arguementative right now by the way you respond to my post. I will be fine thats right, i have nothing against you or anybody who disagrees with me, thats ther opinion , as far as i'm concerned nobody has the right to judge other people if they dont have enough basis. my last post was about the love and heart, you responded there, i'm cool with your opinion, but i'm also trying to convene my knowlege to other people, if thats not for you fine with me, if you agree, still fine with me. have a nice day.

Hahahaha, well ken, you are the one who apparently has a problem with 'argumentative' not me. Nor do I feel compelled to behave in an obsequious manner in order to win the respect of others whom I do not have any regard for anyway. But carry on in that manner all you want, it is none of my business.

As far as "arguing" with others...that is up to you how to stop it.
State your opinion/feeling/comments then just move on.
No matter what is said afterwards, just move on.
This is the only way to avoid arguments here I feel.
I don't judge by discussions as this is not the real world.
Some mebers I feel do this just to try and earn more or egg people on is it.

Not everyone feels the same way every time they're on Mylot. They could be mad one day and take it all on your post.But if you see yourself arguing with other people, then say fine and forget it. Everyone has their own opinions. If you disagree with someone, just don't comment on it. But most people on Mylot are nice most of the time. I don't see how that could be a problem.

I don't judge people by their discussions. I think a lot of people act different online than they do in their real life. It's easy to be someone you're not online. Plus I don't think it's right to judge people especially people you don't know. Sorry to hear you are having that problem. I would ignore them. Hope you have a good lotting day.

I've only been on mylot for a little while but I haven't experienced any rude posts. Im really sorry that you've had that experience, but stick around and you will find that there are a lot of nice people here. Perhaps you should go through your friend lists a delete any people that post mean comments, then when you meet someone nice add them to your friends. Your friends are more likely to respond to your discussions, so that way you'll receive mostly nice comments.
Good luck and happy mylotting

you do see how people are like through the way they are writing, you can see how they think, if they are smart, educated, nice, polite, ect. So yes i do 'judge' (I wouldnt call it judge) them by the posts they write.
On the site like these you come around very different characters. Some are nice, some arent. Some are very conflicted and I do believe they are like that in person aswell. Anyway I tend to stay away from those. I advice you to do the same. If you don like conflict situations, but if you do then well go for it hehe.

yes thats true,you can learn the attitudes, habits and personality of a person, but isnt it fair to the person if we kept it to ourselves. I am not good in verbal arguements, in fact as much as possible i dont like to argue with anyone. I'll take consideration with your advice its also good. thanks for posting.

I always try to live be the rule debate the post, not the poster. Some people here seem to ask a question and if you do not agree with them 100% they take it personally just as any place where people interact. Posting on these boards is a somewhat of a skill to keep on topic and not stray into personalities. If you frequent these types of boards you have to grow a thick skin.
