Are you hesitant of responding a discussion you don't agree with?

Did I respond to your discussion? Well, I didn't notice. Anyway, Star rating is everything here for me. At least once I want to touch 10 star ranking. I don't see it happening in next 6 months or so. i want to preserve my 9 star first and then on I will try to get the next bigger level!

You didn't like my response or what! It seems that you don't want me to respond to your discussion anymore!

Yep you did :P Thanks again!

I totally agree with what you said. I have seen a few that were hostile from the start and I wasnt getting in the middle of it. Im not here to make bad friends, only to contribute to discussions and have fun and make some friends. One bad discussion can upset the apple cart and I do feel some really go looking for opposition.

There could be a discussion from your interest where you will find that the fact given doesn't match your thinking. That is like you disagree with the author. I am talking about those discussions. Now, you can't say that these are out of your interest area, can you? So, the question remains, will you respond?

Ok, don't you think that you might be taken negative and in result rated negative?

yea, stay away from a pack of people who are here for only - rating.

The idea is good but you don't know how people would react to it, isn't it?

We choose our discussion and then respond to it. In earlier days, I used to give answers to those discussion. Like a discussion on your fav actress. The person is saying that that actress is a dumb! You would not be agree with it, the only question is that would you give answer to that!

I agree with dolce. There must be a sound reason for giving someone a (-) not just because you didn't agree to what someone said. What's the use of starting a discussion if you're only open for answers that are in your favor! Some people abuse that minus sign there. I even wish mylot would just remove that one.

It is only new bies who use to abuse - rating most of the time. Once people becomes an old member here, they understand the value of star rating and they don't misuse the power they are being given. Thank you for reading and stopping by!

Ok, that is good. Keep the spirit up because there are very posts available where we can see both sides of coin. Head and tail!

yeah.. thanks and more post. :D

I hate when people discuss about religion by criticising it. Someone in this world have created the religion and we have all the proofs in the form of Epic or something like that. If someone has any problem then s/he should go and read those books.

Well we can't help it if they are in the mood to criticise. It's probably in their doctrine that to not criticize is a sin. So if that's what they believe, we can't do anything about it. I do hope people will just understand each other regardless of religion.

One of the point in the topic "How to get more responses for discussion" was that "Be nice with other people and don't participate in controvertial discussions". yet, I like hot discussion, atleast in reading they are good and interesting ones too, don't you think?

Good going. I can see you improving your English quite a bit. I hope that you carry on your good work !

He he he. Before mylot started star rating, I was feeling free to participate on those discussions but now I do have something to loose if one don't like my response!

Very right. Seems that some people are here only to hear good things about them and they are not ready to accept negative criticism!

True. But, the question is, why discuss if you don't want to receive honest and hurting opinions right?

If I know my friend and I understand that he/she will not take my opinion in a wrong way then I would definitely give my opinion even if we don't agree! Thanks for responding. So, how is your copy paste working, like it?

1200 is the number you are sitting on. congrtes Now a days, I am participating in fun disussion most of the time and politics also as Election is due in this month in our country. I will start participating in each discussion once I reach to 10 star rating.

No, I don't think mylot admin gives any ear on negative rating. They clearly suggest that they don't have to do anything with star rating and ranking. It mylot users who used to rate us and give us ranking. Thanks for the response.

Defensive isn't the quite word which should be used here. i would say offensive rather. They become offensive and start giving - rating, which I don't like at all.

I saw that discussion and dropped my comment there too but no one dared to comment back on me. Guess they were busy rating you -. That is the problem of people here. They don't really want to make a healthy discussion. All they want is that all of should praise them. Since that discussion, I think I have also started doing some hot discussion these days. Although, I don't go for discussion started by users other than my friends. As for your inferiority complex, all I can say is that it is still early days for you. I was on 7 star when I had 581 against my name. My experience says that with spending more time, the - rating effect become lessor as time progresses. I am a big fan of yours and always looking to read your posting as you provide not only comments but facts in support of them too! Cheers! not many good writers like you get even 7 star. I know a very good writer who is sitting at 5 star rating. Sad but true.

Good, very good. You are newbie here and very good attitude too! Thanks for responding though
