In just ONE question.
Because they went on here bragging about something and made it sound like they were SO MUCH BETTER than all of us and how she was so privelegded and how she knows she is better than us, maybe we would be so lucky to be like her and she asked us to not be jealous of her...WHATEVER!
Not one person responded in a negative way to her and that just irked me, like everyone was blind to her childish post. I kind of feel bad now. I have never done that before. I just needed to get it off my chest and now I have! At first I thought she was just joking, but as I read on I discovered she wasn't.

Thank you for the plus. Umm, sometimes I am honest to a fault, going back to the store and paying for something they forgot to charge me for, I think it's like bad Karma if I let stuff like that go! Instead of thinking "their loss" You know?

What are you Catholic and this is the confession booth? Hahahahaha!
See, if you had gone and marked all of her comments with a negative and felt good about doing it without any conflicting feelings whatsoever then you wouldn't have suffered any repercussions... like your own rating going down, or the need to post this confession. I once went through someone's posts for a long time back negatively rating every comment he made where he was being a condescending a$$hole - trying to make others feel ignorant and stupid while he towered over them with his imagined superiority, although I also rated positively the stuff he posted that was inspired. But I felt like I was on a mission and I allowed myself that indulgence, therefore my energy was not split. Nor did I require the approval of anyone else for my actions... good thing too, because if I required that everyone approve of everything that I do I would be in a HEAP of sh!t!!!!!! Fortunately I do not rely on the opinions of the others for my guidance.
Your post here makes me wonder why you sent me a friends request though, since I am a blatant swaggering braggart!

You don't sound like a swaggering braggart, at least you sound intelligent! This person didn't!
Why did I confess? No I'm not Catholic! LOL!
Like someone said earlier, it makes for lively discussion...that's OK.
Will I ever 'confess' on here again? H-E double toothpicks (ll)no!Ha ha!

I think it took a lot of courage to come here and admit to it and take the flack you've gotten here...lol! I wish I'd read the post so I could form a better opinion about it but if this member was abusive and/or insulting I really can't blame you. The way I take the TOS is we're not supposed to give out negative ratings just because someone disagrees with you or debates or argues a point if they do it in a respectful and civil way. I very rarely give anyone a minus but I have on occasion when they've been truly abusive and obnoxious to me or someone else. I'll only report someone if there's a very, VERY clear violation because I've found it usually doesn't do any good to report someone. Anyway, I don't think it matters now whether you did right or wrong, if it was wrong you admitted to it and said you feel bad. I don't think some of the nasty tags here were necessary, but that's just me!

Everyone has a right to their own opinion!
I thought in this day and age we were all allowed to have our own and not to be punished should it differ from that of others.
I love reading ALL the differing opinions on here and that is part of the fun of it and I would never punish a user should an OPINION differ from mine. Very sad

It wasn't a difference of an opinion at all, there was no opinion, it was just a paragraph of how we were all jealous of her, how she was better and on and on, maybe I just didn't explain what the content of the paragraph was well enough in my initial post.

That's to bad that this happend I guess we all go through it. There seems to be alot of that going on in mylot lately from what I hear. Mylot has lost alot of good people because of this kind of thing it's sad but I try to not let it get me and move on letting myself have a good time here not worry about what others think or say about me. Also if anything let mylot admin. be the one to do the docking of negativity of what people say and do in here for it will be on them not you. They are watching and if they haven't caught it they soon will we all just don't think they do but they do. Have fun and ignore one's like the one you came across. May it get better for you have a good day.

I feel a feeling of pity for your friend, really. Some people around us are just wanting to try their best to be sincere for once, but instead, all they get is shoot-backs and insults from the others who are just so insensitive and childish.
We really ought to look at ourselves, and mend our mistakes before it overrun us, one day.

I don't know who you are talking about but I'm guessing it probably was someone just being sarcastic if no one responded negative to her. I'm guessing a long time member whose sarcasim & wit we have all gotten accustomed to. I notice that you have not been here all that long....I really think you should have refrained but i'm sure not much harm was done. It takes a lot of negs from many to really have an impact on someones rating. In the future, if you don't particularly care for a certain poster, the best thing to do is to just stay clear from their discussions. just some thoughts for you. take care.

I have been here for 2 years but started working and just the past 6 weeks started participating again...
I also think it takes many "-" to lower a rating! Mine went down 10 points yesterday and then went up 2 today, so who really knows how it works?

Some people do need to be put in their place, and some people are beyond hope.
I give kudos for doing what you thought was right, instead of following the herd, but I gotta admit, the quality of posts and comments here are far below that of other discussion boards, so those types of childish posts are almost to be expected, and it's pretty much the norm to tolerate it, it seems.

I was told that if I have nothing nice to say, then say nothing.
But in some cases, I feel like my blood is covering my brain, and then I have to say out loud what I think - mind you, not always with a positive outcome.
So, I just decided, that if I don't like someone, just ignore him...very hard to do it.
So, don'rt feel bad - once in a while, everyone of us has a burst...

hahahhaha. A lot of immature people is like that. They love to brag about themselve and talk and talk and talk about themselves. I know a friend like that. and it really drives me out of my wit. What I do when he starts to talking about himself is if I cant change the topic, I excuse myself and find someone else to talk to. I am quite rude but its better like that than cutting him off or saying things that is a lot meaner than that.
I dont blame you though.

Well I guess she deserved what she got. There is not reason to be like that on here. We are all here to make new friends and earn some extra money too. There is no room for rude, igonorant people on this site. We all need to work together to help each other succeed.

Dang, now if she had given a logical and rational explanation of WHY she was so much better than all of us....
I have been known to do a little negging now and then myself, though it's generally directed at abusive responses or totally off topic responses.
Anyway you can come neg me any time, I don't really care about the silly star any way!

Some people just don't know what humility is and anyone that brags about something doesn't realize how they may come off to others. It's great to be blessed with good things in life, but they lose their worth to the person if all they can do is brag about it. Sometimes, because of the bragging, they end up losing the good things and things begin to take a turn for the worse.
People like this usually have to learn the hard way about humility. It's just one of the many life's lesson that we all experience one way or the other. If you saw it for what it really was then don't feel bad. One negative response won't kill you, but being you know that maybe it was the wrong thing to do it was just a lesson for you as well.
