Do you dislike it when other mylotters...

Yes, this irritates the heck out of me and is a sure fire way for them to get themselves marked negative!

I will sometimes think "then why do you still answer?" but then if they at least state their opinion that's good and reason enough then I can accept that. Maybe I did that too, hehe, can't remember. More often than not, I would only answer if I really know about the topic or have experienced.

first,I think you bring a good question.It doesnot ofen happen to me .however,I donot care anymore.

I don't care if I answer someone if I can't help him because myLot is all about money and I often lie to get best response mark or something else which can help me to earn more. There are many other forums on the world which aren't like myLot so try them. Happy myLotting and take care.

It's also happen to me many time and I'm really don't care about that. Simply, I think that they read my discussion and this is their opinion of them. When I make a discussion, the first thing I want is many people read it. They can comment or not. I don't require them anything. When thay post, I'm very happy. Simply that.

I guess it depends on the situation and the discussion. If you asked "has this ever happened to you" or something like that, then the response that the situation has never happened to that person is a totally valid one. However, if you are asking for advice on a subject but never asked whether or not others had been in the same situation, then it doesn't make a lot of sense for someone to respond like that. I like reading all the responses to my discussions, but I'm new here so I haven't had any of those type of responses yet. I don't think it would really bother me to have one or two people do that, because at least they took the time to respond to my discussion. If I got a lot of them, though, especially if they were from the same people all the time, then eventually those kind of answers might irritate me, too.

hi from hatley No I dont really like it unless the person goes on to say my friend or neighor or cousin also had this happen. also I sometimes answer discussions in which at now point in my life it hasnt happened but did very much happen to me when I was younger. I mean us oldies have experienced pretty much all you younger people have whether y ou think so or not and we likely do know an answer to your question. so I am not too hard on others if they show a real interest in my discussion.I dont really get many of these posts however.

It does not bother me if some one tells me they are unable to help me or they have not had the same experience. When some one takes the time to respond in this manner at least i know some one is reading my question and taking the time to respond, even if they are unable to help me. I used to feel the same way you do...but then I realized how many less responses I would receive!

It happened to me many times and I don't care much about that. I think each mylotter has the choice to respond to questions even if it is asked to me. They are giving their opinions about the question, later I can give my comment on it below it. So, as far as I am concerned it is fine to do that. No offenses.

I have received those types of responses more than many many times. What I think is if you don't what to say about the discussions, why don't you just skip it and move on to the next one that you will know what to say? I think it is kinda pointless to post respond like that "I don't really know what to say about this / I have no idea what I would o about this..." which means you don't know what to discuss... so why bother... it is pretty annoying actually. In order not to reply back like"If you don't what to say, just don't reply..." I mean nobody wants to be mean like that but I cannot say thank you for responding as well because there is nothing he gives out...

it is a bit of a vexation but it is different if someone does not have an opinion but would like to learn more then it does not bug me as much.

Discussions and discussion matter tend to grow and change down the line. I think they may be remarking that it has not happened to them, but are genuinely interested in seeing what others comment. Mylot can be used as a learning instrument. In this case, you can see how many people have been through the same situation as you, and how many haven't. I just got my butt whooped in another conversation where someone flat out refused to even look at a link I posted to make a point. It is a sad day when people refuse to learn more, so I would be delighted to get remarks, even if they are just people saying it has never happened to them. They can learn about it and you can teach them. If you are asking for advice, they may encounter the same thing with a friend of them in the offline world, and will be able to use the mylotters' responses/advice in helping them out.

What's wrong with that? it's their choice even thought they don't relate to it at least they took their time responding even though they have little or no knowledge at all. at least they gave their views, because i tend to say those things too in the New and zero discussions category, but even though i didn't knew i was thrilled to answer because it's something new to me. and always end up asking questions or give more input to his/her discussion. but if the discussion is really really had nothing to do with my interest then i just leave it.for, panda, i think it's kinda rude, to tell some one "why bother replying" if they took a second of their time to reply to your topic.at least be thankful to the time they spare for commenting on your discussion..have a great day.

I definitely hate people who are like that, actually, I used to comment on discussions that I haven't experienced or haven't in the same situation but I do share my thoughts regarding it or assuming that I have been in that situation just for me to be able to comment best..and certainly, If you have nothing to say about the topic then better not comment on it, you will just annoy the discussion maker..haha, many people doesn't think about this one that is why although there comment are crap, they still tend to post them just to have a higher number of posts I guess..

If i have absolutley nothing to add to the discussion, i won't wanser, but many times, even if i have never had eexperience with the topic the poster is asking about, i try to put myself in their shoes and give suggestions and ideas that i hope would be helpful.
