The other day I responded to discussion regarding rude my lotters and until that time I hadnt come across one until about five minutes ago. I responded to a discussion and the person who started that discussion was so plain rude to me for my answer to his question. He asked for our opinion and I gave him one and yet he turns to be rude me. So if you're going to start a discussion, expect that everyone's opinion will be different. If you are an arrogant rude person with no manners or respect for fellow my lotters then you shouldn't be here.. do you agree?

That discussion wasn't under the politics or religion interest was it?
That's where you find most of the rude people...
It seems that some people actually PRIDE themselves on being rude.
They claim that they are "just being honest". Yeah right.

no it was under questions.. I never participate in politics as there is always some sort of strife and arrogancy there..he asked for an opinion and well I gave him my opinion.. next time he should say "only those that agrre with me should respond," rather than me utterly rude...
I think some people are really just plain idiotic especially those that are rude.. I think rudeness should now be an official offense and people who do that should be punished for it..

you are right when you said that we do have different opinions on things and people should respect that..
but i think that it is also right that you respect how that person responded..
your answer might have hurt his ego or something and he doesnt know how to get back at you but just be rude..
now we know thats just pathetic..but do understand the person.. :)
hehe
and oh..
i do think that the rude person should still be here on mylot..
thanks to him, you came up with this post that i happened to come across at and responded.. :) hehe
cool reminder jellymonty.. :D

Your point is fresh but reasonable. To respect others is easy to say but hard to do. Prior to demanding others respect,one should meet that first. I dare not say I can make it. But your post do remind me of how to respond to others. You teach me a good lesson. I really appreciate it.

The mere fact that we started a discussion means we have to be open minded on the opinions of other people. If we are not going to accept idea that is opposed to us then better not start a discussion. A discussion is called discussion because there are exchanging of ideas and if one manipulate it then it is not a discussion anymore. If he/she responded rude to you, just forget it, anyway, it is their lost if no one responded to them anymore.

I couldn't agree with you more. The reason it is a discussion is because we are talking about how we feel or view the topic at hand. The people that start threads and then get all on the defensive are just plain rude themselves. I haven't been here long but yesterday I think it was I seen some pretty off the wall topics that I couldn't believe weren't deleted immediately. Or the people that start a thread with no question at hand, just their view as the heading. It is rather rude in my opinion.
I wouldn't take it personal if someone doesn't agree with me, I already know there are people that aren't going to. I just like to hear their reasons as to why they think differently. It may give me the oppourtunity to open my eyes a bit.

yes I agree
unfortunately there are some people here that are just not mature enough to handle differing opinions
they are also not mature enough to hold a mature intelligent debate
but there are plenty of users here that ARE mature enough so dont let the few childish ones get you down

I totally agree with you. I've encountered many one sided opinion people who post topics, and plead for help but when you state your opinion and offer what has helped you with a similar situation, they come back to you with a huge rude remark about how wrong you are and so on. I try to avoid politics, goverment, religion, and major personal issues because that's where most of them lay. I do however have a fellow mylot who doesn't agree with my parenting and everything that has to do with parenting and if i've posted on it, this fellow mylotter will post under mine and say mean things to me. I have confronted this person, letting them know that it's rude and disrepectful, that everyone has their own way of doing things and have thier own opinion and it needs to be respected and being a big hot head behind a computer isn't the thing to do. Though, they insist they are right, oh well... doesn't bother me anymore. I don't feel like wasting my time anymore on a never ending battle. Best of luck with avoiding the rude people you will encounter.

Sorry for you. I haven't encountered such type of people,maybe just becaust i haven't been here for a long time. But still, you should help people who deserve the help and don't be disapponted by ill-intended guys. If some people come back to you with rude remarks,you can go away. it depends on you. don't you think? good luck!

I am shocked to see people, abusing using slangs and writing dirty things on mylot. this site pays people to opine for anything and values them. Why do they then misuse this site for bad intentions. If they intend to talk rubbish they ahve plenty of options for that too. I noticed somebody using an abusive mylot id and very objectionable language. these actions hampers mylot's popularity and credits. I appeal to mylotters to stop and prevent other peoples from doing so. Thanks

You are an honest person. If there're more people like you, the world would be more peaceful Now that we are on mylot, it's a valuable chance to meet because maybe we come from different countries and maybe wouldn't meet again in the rest of our lives. So,why don't we cherish this moment? Otherwise,people will recognize your bad intention over time and stay away from you. What benifit can you get?

So far I've replied to I believe 3 discussions just today & of course my opinion has to be the different one. Especially on the ones where the poster is crying victim of a broken heart, failed long distance relationship, etc etc etc. I agree with you though, opinions will be different & we're all in this together. It doesn't hurt to be open minded.

Hi Jellymonty, I think some people think that being rude is the 'in' thing ! Well, I usually steer clear of anything that has to do with religion or politics; and if anyone is rude to me, I would just ignore him or her. It's no point replying to them - a waste of time and energy!

I've seen rude people on here with their rude comments. I try to stay away from ANY topics that I think may cause a rude comment back. I just don't want to deal with those people. I agree with you that it's not right when you just give your opinion, like they're asking for, and then they in return are rude! Why did they bother to ask if they couldn't handle all of the different opinions? Sometimes I just don't understand people!

Your practice is pretty wise,I think. There are many kinds of people in this world and they possess different characteristics. You can't expect how they behave when you deal with them. But once you know what a person he is,you can take appropriate actions. I don't like to deal with rude people either. They are annoying. I wouldn't bother to stay with them.

Two of my favorite topics I respond to are politics and religion, but if I see a discussion in either one that I know for a fact will cause me to be totally uncharitable, I avoid those like the plague. Nothing's worth being kicked off of MyLot.

The way i look at it every one has an opinion,there are some topics of discussion that people dont like.Yet the topics that people dont like they still seem to comment on,i find this very strange.You are not the only person i have heard from saying about a rude reply either and im sure you wont be the last.

I feel the very reason why we are on mylot is because we have a freedom of speech.....we can share what we feel and not fake our answers just to impress someone or to earn some reputation.....i think you were absolutely right when you gave a honest answer to that discussion......and people have no right to be rude to anyone......if you don't want to expect straight forward answers then why do you start such discussions.....or rather if you are too used to getting positive answers just mention next time that you would accept only POSITIVE response....but i wonder who would like to participate in your discussion.....please guys don't make this site so uninteresting because if you are rude then people would not like to come back.....some people have a hard day at work and they come here so that they could relax and share with the world whats happening with them......one such rude response can spoil someones day.....i fell like a family here.....and let us all be open to discussions and participate like a sport.....please don't be a Kill-Joy !!!!
Have fun !!!!!

I'm the type of person that if your rude to me,you won't hear from me again and you will lose all of my respect and support. If you treat me with respect then I will be loyal to you and support you in any way that I can. There are many rude people in this world in general and I've learned it is best to just let it roll off of your back and not let it get you down. You are right he asked for your opinion and should have respected your opinion and not been rude. He does have a right to his own opinion of your response, but he doesn't have to be nasty. He could be more respectful in the way that he disagrees with you. Don't worry about all the haters out there just keep being yourself and give as many opinions as you like and they can take it or leave it. :)

I most definately agree..unfortunately it'll continue to happen..and you'll find that at times this place can get VERY heated with trolls stirring the pot and so on..best bet is to just let it slide and take pity on those types since they obviously have no life and are pathetic

Well Mylot has a lot of members so you are bound to get your share of people that think they can take other people's opinions but they can't. Those people are sad people I think and have run into a few of them.
I try to help people here on Mylot because when I first started here there were people that helped me understand some things and to get through some things emotionally.
It still gets under my skin though, when you try to help someone, that asked for help, and they slam you down and call you rude.
It's so easy to read a message the wrong way, but I think it's better to look at it and read it so that you can see the good in it.

Gosh, they are everywhere! Why do people go through life behaving like a***s? You can disagree with someone without being gruff about it! I was naive enough to think that here I would not encounter them, yet here they are!
I know it is upsetting jellymonty; it can ruin your day when you encounter one these species. Just feel sorry for them and move what can you do? You are right these types should not be here!

Just like in the real world, you have some rude people here in myLot who do nothing but flame other people. Either they are really rude or it's just their way of lengthening the discussion.
Don't be discouraged though in sharing your opinion and just being yourself. You don't have to conform to anyone's views here. If someone disagrees and becomes rude with you, don't worry, there are more mature people here whom you can have worthy discussions and fun.
