If you answer in a discussion, and who start that discussion, will comment to other mylotters and in your answer he don t comment, you will be sad or angry?
will you think that your answer don t was good or maybe just who start the topic are not interest in you? next time you will answer to this person again?

it will be frustrated because when you start discussions, make sure you're always reading what others comments with your topic.. and make some comments at least they know that you started a discussion that really interests you.. starting a nonsense topic will result to nonsense comments so you will be bored posting comments...

It's okay for me, maybe my answer is not good or useful enough for someone who post the topic.
Sure, I will respond her/his topic again when I know and have an opinion about the topic. At least my poin will increase by aswering the topic :)

I used to feel sad when I started a discussion and no one response or response to discussions and got no comment from the one who started the discussion but not anymore. I will answer to this same person again even if this person is not answering because sometime I do not comment to those who response to my discussion as I don't really know how to reply.

Hi,
You just asked the question which I was feeling for quite some time here in mylot. And honestly I thought to post the same question. I am so happy that you already did.
Now to answer your question, I have observed it many a times that the person who starts a discussion don't answer to the replies of his post. And worse he sometimes prefers to answer some of them and ignoring your reply completly making you look as a fool. I think it is ridiculous. If you don't have the time to acknowledge one's response to your post then you shouldn't start a discussion in the first place. I think it is rude from the part of these users who don't "comment" on your answers. Yes it is a bit saddning.

It doesn't really worry to much if people don't comment on my responses. I don't find it sad or frustrating. But I do find it is really nice for the comments. It is even better when the discussion keeps going back and forth on the same topic.
For me, if you don't comment on this response. I won't get upset or frustrated. If you start another one, you never know, I could respond to your next discussion.

Hi icesmile, I have come across such situation a few times. I don’t understand why the creators of the discussions don’t have any interest in my responses. I wonder may be my points giving are not hitting the right nails. Or might be he dislikes my ideas. Or might be I’m not one of the friends in his friends list. I just hope most probably he leaves out mine unconsciously.
To find out the true reason why the creator would skip over my response, I tried to post responses to their new discussions respectively later on. I was glad to find that all of them had left respective comments in my responses.
Happy posting

I feel really happy that you are more than willing to add comment in my response. Thank you icesmile!
Actually you are a very nice person and could express your feeling using the language fluently so I don’t think your response was left out totally because of all the said reasons.
As we know many of us make use of our free time writing posts here, and sometimes we even could hardly find any extra time to go back to the old discussions. Anyway this matter do give you a good thread to start this good topic

Yes, I will feel frustrated, I will feel I am not welcome. But I really understand because there are many response that don't need a comment, it is just it is. But if in my response, I was sincerely contributed some of personal experience and I did not receive any response of course I will be sad. But that's ok, I am too is doing that to my other discussion but not that because I don't want to put on comments but I because I have a poor time management whenever I logged in here in Mylot.

Ice I know what you are saying here - and I also see your sad face too
Don't let it upset you please because it happens many times. I think it has something to do with respect. If someone takes the time and effort to respond on one of my dicussions then I comment back, to every single one who responds no matter what they say.
Next time it happens then take a look at some of the coments that were giiven to the others and if it was just a 'thanks' or 'I agree' then it's best you didn't get one because that is not a comment with much thought most times.
Don't worry, just keep on responding the same as always and remember it will always happen on here, every single day but we must not let it get us down

no,It would not affect me in anyway,but if i start a discussion & do not get responses then i feel sad,because in most of the discussions i started i seek an advice or information.so it make me feel bad if i don't get the same.

It will be frustrating but you can push people to respond to the discussions that they are not interested. As much as possible I want a lot of people to respond to my discussions but as of now, I'm still not successful in doing it. lol I'm still open to suggestions and improvement. I hope that time will come, I can find my discussions in today's top discussion tab.

If the person doesnt respond to my post thats ok.. sometimes it can be frustrating, because I was really into that specific discussion.. There is a couple ways to look at it.. One your comment was so complete that there was nothing else to be said. Or you happen to off the subject and that person doesnt want to respond, due to a subject change within the discussion. And the last thing could be simply the person didnt get a chance to really respond to your comment.. When you are writing and you are reading a lot of responses, there are some that make you want to write a lot and there are somethat well you dont know what to say.. writers blot.. I would answer that person's discussion again, if the speific topic caught my eye... even if the orginal writer doesnt want to comment on your posts, doesnt mean others wont...

I feel very bad about it. I am like what did I do. I havent done this in a while but I was SO proud when my discussions won me spots on the top ones on the site under discussions. I recall I would copy and keep that thing in a word document to proove I did something good. Its silly but I used to do it when it happened. So of course I hate it. But I might not do it once if it doesnt interest me what would I say? I dont always comment but when I see something I can make a good reply to I reply of course I do. Why not?

Ive mostly seen that really goooood discussions, worth reading go unread and unanswered. This has happened to me at times, and believe me, the discussions are mind boggling and sets you thinking. But no replies ! That set me thinking. Ive realised that mylotters here are not out to read good stuff, just enjoy and answer simple questions like which soap do you use.! By the dozens ! So, now I do not pen down any intellectual discussions anymore. Its just read, answer and forget. It used to make me feel sad, but now Ive learnt my lesson.
Moral of this discussion : Do not write intellectual discussions on mylot. lol.

It doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes, a reply is not even necessary, or it may just be that the discussion starter hasn't gotten to it yet, or has overlooked it all together. I don't take it personally at all. I know that there are many times when I have overlooked things or had to log off for one reason or another. It isn't anything personal, it is just that I am a busy person and don't always remember to go back to things that I intend to.

Sometimes it disappointing when nobody comments in my discussion. But then it help me to think of a new discussion that will caught their attentions. and i dont take it agains them because we are all free to answer any one and to not answer to anyone.

Oh no. I just put it out there. If they like it or not I don't care. At least my opinion is there for the record.
