It's Very Irritating When I Respond To A Discussion..........

Yeah, whenever someone thanks me I rarely ever respond back to that comment unless they say something else along with it. Like, what am I supposed to say when someone just says 'thanks'. "Uh, you're welcome?"

I use to try n prod a little more out of the thank you, like elaborate on what my response was, sometimes they said nothing further or just commented "thanx" again...WOW!!!

meoww meoww hi hornetlover

Yes, you are right, a discussion should continue to flow and it shold look like a 'discussion', it enlivens the atmosphere.

C, there u go, another good response! We need to keep discussions flowing! Ok, we may end up with 20 discussions flowing at the same time, but it's a computer, it's manageable! If it holds, that discussions just may be the first hundred dollar holder?! Taripre$

Point Winner, exactly! See that, it's been about a month since last time I've been here, now that my mind is clear, I can give decent comments! Wait hold up, I forgot, I'm suppose to say - thanx for your comment, have a great day...! Won't happen!! Taripre$

I'm all for the politeness, but polite that into a more detailed comment, make it sound like you give a care, ya know? Taripre$

You 2 are absolutely correct, and I'm all over what you said city! Maybe there is a bit of normal social network mentality going on here, but the problem is, I get more feedback on twitter and no one talks about anything there Taripre$

hehehe! why don't we make a clan out here and every 1 should be active to participate! in that way we can help each other to earn and learn more? what do you think?

Hey hatley, you make a good point and so dos taripres. But what seems apparent to me is that there might be quite a few here that don't really know what they should be doing. Some of us need to go back and read over the mylot rules a couple of times before it ever sinks in. That's just my thoughts on it. Take care and don't let it get to you..........

Exactly what I'm talking about, just like a normal conversation, it'll eventually go into dogs and cats, new drapes and cooking, and all the discussion was about typing a paper! Taripre$

Great point, I just say give me a lil more for my efforts, especially if you agree! lets keep this thing going; party line type people?! Taripre$

Nervous is only good when your wanting to shut up some idiot who's spouting off. If you actually want a debate then scaring them off isn't good. I tend to be short & to the point ( which is usually pretty sharp ).

MAN, responses, comments, discussions, pm's! That's not a bad idea, a horse laying down with a bat beating on it's side, Nah that'll be cool Taripre$

Now thats funny! U make them nervous - wish I did the same but I guess they feel I'm just long winded, or type heavy

You are much welcome. you see to keep a discussion fresh and making it more interesting it has to hold something of value and make it more deeply interesting. I'd rather have someone shoot another question relating to the discussion to make it all more interesting than just a mere thanks, I agree, yeah, cool response. Cheers!

Right, a question, an experience, something relating to what was mentioned, something of substance and value! No more thank you's!!!! Taripre$

Now ur seeing my point, you don't have to do it right then and there, just come back later when ur ready to respond, don't leave me some copy n pasted short sob story type response! oh thanx sir, your response is what I needed; come on, more please!!! Taripre$

wow thats amazing that you have the figures all figured out. How did you do that? Just making one discussion, or comment a day? I wish they wouldn't delete it, I'm really curious now.

I'm witchu skills, I believe discussions and responses pay the same, but the comments are less! I would throw out figures, but then this will be deleted!!! Glords, I think dude's just super lazy and gets a kick out of people responding to his discussions - he's a discussion instigator Taripre$

Hum...nice issue you brought to the discussion, glords... Maybe I´m wrong, but as far as I know, discussion pay more than comments... Does anyone have some info on this?

well, good points everyone, I can't help but agree! Though I still feel we should try to expand the discussion! I feel you don't have to do it right then and there, like I'm just commenting here and this was done a few days ago! Maybe by then you'll have something useful to say But at least try n give me 2 lines of bs, keep it going!! Taripre$

Tottaly agree with you, Zaphan... I like a good debate, that´s for sure! But hey, I´m not obliged to be interested all the time! There are sometimes that I just don´t have nothing more to add, or simply am not in the mood to write down all my ideas, but on the other hand I want to show that person that I read the post, and that even though I´m not interested on responding at that time (for a question of common sense i´m not going to tell her this part!), I apreciate the fact that that person spent some time reading and answering me... My path is: respond when i have something usefull to say...when i´m not in the mood or have nothing useful to say, i prefer to at least do the cortesy of simply showing that the response was read and that i´m thankful for the time spent... Peace Skills By the way, great topic, man... ;)

But that´s the question, City...imagine you´re not in the mood to even write down 2 lines, but still you don´t want to disapoint people and let them think you didn´t even read their response...in my case i simply write down a "Hey, thanks for your response, very apreciated...happy myloting to you..."...

hmm, I guess ur right, but I'm stubborn, I still feel they can give me more like if we were out in the streets! No one would start a discussion, debate, or ask a question and respond to everyone by saying thanx, that'll be rude and boring! I just feel if you can do it in person, you can do it online as well!! Taripre$

R u tryin to stomp me? Very very good points here! No argument out of me, but even with that being said, a lil elaboration can't hurt, even if you don't know what to say! Thanx was said, elaborate on thanx, make it a 2 line thanx, tell me why you're thanking me in 2 lines, everyone has that! Taripre$

There are two things why they said that. maybe they are lazy to elaborate things that will conceptualize the topics. second is that there way to react your discussion. We cannot blame them in that way they comments in our discussion. If you feel irritated because they simple words that have no meaning and no reflection with the discussion all about tell it to them in response that they should be act as wise man because we all are here to learn and share then earn also... have a great day!

Excellent response and ur a cutie on top off that I haven't checked, but I'm sure I'm not the only one out of almost 188,000 members that has an issue with and created a Discussion about this! But great points and I too hope that people can take a hint from this discussion and try and elaborate more and prolong their discussions! Taripre$

Well, I don't mind offending people, not intentionally though! I feel if you're offended then get it together If that's your thing, then this is not the right spot, go to actual forums where they're just there to get on everyone's nerves, but this is paid and insightful! There's no insight in "thanx for the response", where's the help, acknowledgment, oh n discussion? Taripre$

Glad we're on the same page on that one. I'm sure there are those that have issues of the same too, it's just not most of them are not too vocal about it. perhaps in fear of offending anyone. But i'm sure others understand that our intents are good

Oh well, that's what I meant! Though I don't like closed end comments, I'll take a thank you with an elaboration even if it's closed end! Just don't say thanx, that's whack!! Taripre$

No, I'm not upset, it's just I feel, and I'm assuming MyLot as well, feels that this should be a conversation, just like anything else! It's not that I don't like thank you's, I just want some meat with my potatoes, that was the point in responding!!! Taripre$

try not to assume what mylot is thinking. they will tell what's not and what's good. for now i think seeing people thanking me about discussions is alright by me..but as long as they have some response, besides "thank you for your comment"

Whats going on Kitty, are u following me like Twitter? Even if you are, so flattering But hey, you'll get that awesome thanx for the response comment sooner than later, probably hit it since your post here! Just make sure u don't fall into that trap! Taripre$

See, that's a good comment, even though it's pretty much closed end! I can still respond and won't feel like I'm pulling to make a comment back! Good stuff, and where u been? Taripre$

The only thing that would stop from responding to comments is my internet connection, as long as I can get online I will gladly respond how else will this work. I find that I am still waiting for a few responses lol, sometime others respond to me, not the person that started the discussion, I try to remember everyone is not addicted to the net, so they may not sign on as often as we would like, things here has been more positive then negative so thats a good thing. This is one of the first responses I post for you, glad I came across your discussions I enjoy exchanging thoughts with you.thanks for the response

yes because if you get 40 responses, its hard to just keep saying the same thing over to each person what else to do except to at least let them know you read their post

hmmm, interesting spin, almost got me But for real, I see what you're saying, but all you have to do is agree and throw your take on it if that's what you're opting to do! If you disagree, then disagree, now if there are too many responses, then variate the same comment as I'm doing! Everyone may not be me, but everyone knows how to converse!! Taripre$

You are absolutely right. I will try to take more time in my discussions from now on. It's good to have someone that actually says it like it is. Thanks.

u get the award of best response for honesty, then u say u'll work on it, I can respect that rather than making, they're not bad ones, but excuses for why not to draw on the discussion! No, I'm not stating that anyone is wrong here, just saying that a discussion is what it is!! Taripre$

No problem, there's nothing wrong with prolonging a discussion, we increase our earnings in the long run, not to mention, make a few online friends! If you're involved in any other programs that makes money online, may even end up with a few referrals Taripre$

Closed end responses are just a way to say, "hey I don't really have anything to say, I just wanted to get this out there, so thanx!" I don't like it, but haven't run into too many lately; maybe they got a glance at this discussion.. Taripre$

Thanx City, once again you've proved yourself wise I don't know, it seems to be in my nature to say something to them about it because I have a big mouth! Some stuff I seem to not let go because I guess it's a pride issue. I know it's good not let things get to me, I'll live longer as well, but what's wrong with tactfully telling a person about themselves in a way that lets them understand that something they're doing should be tweeked a bit? Taripre$

I'll have to give you that one But I try to respond to discussions I have some connection with, maybe if I respond to "what do you drink at the computer?" I'll probably get a better comment to my response, as that person is just really here for kicks!! They can care less for substance Taripre$

Here is the deal taipres, some people are sitting at their computers with nothing else to do but to try to think of perhaps 50 or 100 very short discussions, so that they can make at least a dollar or two a day. They don't really care about what kind of response they get back, whether it is in detail or not. All they care is that they did what was expected of them here on mylot, which was to start the discussions. They are not concerned with how much substance will be put into them. I guess my whole point is to say that everybody is here for a different reason. For myself, I'm just now learning that this is a place where I've been really able to find myself. I never knew that I was a writer before, even though I had a slight clue. But once I got here and started following the directions. Feeling more relaxed. Trusting the other participants to not try to slice me in the back. If I decide to give constructive criticism or to just share my heart. Then that was the aha moment for me. I learned that this was something that I could really actually do. Although my writing may not be the best of the best yet. I will give it more time. Continue to practice. Share and grow with the other mylotters and who knows where this could lead to for many of us. The main thing is to not allow anyone to discourage you. If they only feel like giving one line or two. That's on them. They are the one that will be short changed. What you can do when you see they've only given one line or two, is simply by pass them. Don't even bother to comment back. That way it will save you time. Also they will realize sooner or later that they didn't give a comment that was worth responding to. Hope this helps. Take care and have a nice evening.

Good point, I tried that and got burnt out quick! It was just recently that I realized to just enjoy what's going on here and earning second or last, but not first! I make my money off tasks here, completing and posting! I just participate now and try my best to give and absorb insight!! Taripre$

Hi, Sorry..some typing error. On the last paragraph ...should be read as :- Some, just 'no news' from them. Cheers and happy myLotting!

Ok, wow, great explanation, not sure what to say here - but thank you's suck Nah, just kidding! I thought about that, but the last thanx comment I got was from a pretty seasoned member, their numbers were pretty high, I think higher than mine! I don't know, maybe the cat got their fingers or they got finger cramps, brain freeze from ice cream, sumn Taripre$
