Has this ever happened to you on myLot?

Discussions cannot be closed. That person clearly doesn't understand the way that MyLot works and, besides, expressed themselves rather rudely. If they don't wish to carry on the conversation, they do not need to reply!

hilarious!!! i'm a bit confused of what had been said. That person rated you positive but he said shut up???? ironic... well i think if that will happen in an hour admin will delete that discussion. I'll keep an eye on this...hmm ...

Mmmmmmm...I always give people the benefit of the doubt before saying anything. First, how was your conversation with him? was it an argument? do you think you said something offensive? Or maybe you were offended and you tried to reason out? Was the person a native English speaker? Was the person a newbie here at the Lot? Maybe he just thought that's how things go here. I gotta admit. It is weird. But I gotta have to know the details first of what transpired between you two

That is a new one to me, how very, very strange!! It is hardly the idea of myLot is is? They must think that people are just responding hoping for a [+] rating!!

Strange on. Never happened to me till now. But, I will not like this type of comment at all. We response to discussion to express out thoughts and not just to collect + ratings. Thanks for sharing this one. Nice topic.

wow, that is kind of rude, and strange. Why would he or she go out of their way to make a statement like that?? Well maybe he or she will come across this discussion and realize that your talking about them and feel stupid lol and good luck w/ your other post!!

Hi Heather No that has not happened to me and I think it is very rude of the Person, who do they think they are I certainly would have left a wonderful response for that Person believe me it would have sounded nice but my Message would have got through to them That is so rude and it is making me angry that they where so rude to you

That has not happened to me! Are you sure that was what they meant to say? Many times people who don't speak English well will say the wrong thing. "this discussion is closed" may mean that they understand your point. There are many misunderstandings when people don't have a language in common.

WHITEHEATHER: I went to the site & read the posts, & I actually believe the problem lies in K-rose's horrid grammar & spelling. I don't think he (she?) intended to be rude, but the exact opposite. I think it was his awkward way of saying that you said it all so well that nothing further needed to be said. I could be mistaken, though...it's hard to tell. He really needs lessons in English spelling, grammar & just wording things properly. Some people who write in MyLot are very hard to understand, & make for difficult reading. I'm speaking of those for whom English is their native tongue! They ought to know better! I always cut lots of slack for those who don't have it as their birth language--that's just fair. If the person & the topic are interesting to me, I'll grit my teeth & try to figure it out. But as often as not, I end up ignoring such a poster, as it's just not worth the hassle. One of the ones I enjoy, but who sometimes makes little to no sense to me because of his spelling & grammar, lives Down Under. Maybe you know of whom it is I speak. I can decipher most of his posts--though he ought to use spell check!--but if he weren't so funny & charming, I'd not bother! Anyway, try re-reading K-rose's post & see if you don't think it's possible he meant to compliment you. If he did, then, were it I, I'd PM him & apologize, & inform him that his poor writing skills made you take what he said the wrong way. Let him find out that he needs to check his grammar & spelling, or continue to be misunderstood! I noticed he didn't return after your angry reply; maybe he was ashamed to have upset you. It's just my effort at spreading the charitable approach. I really hate being misunderstood, so I always bend over backwards so as not to misunderstand others.

Geez, I didn't see or do I remember the discussion. I believe my feelings would be deeply hurt hurt. This is not why there is a mylot. I believe, as I too have one similar incident that I'd forget this person, igore her/his posts or delete the person all together. I've never seen one of your discussions get "turned away" with only 2 responses....where the heck was I ??? But hang in there. I love your discussions and responses. quita

As many others said, there's no such thing here as a closed discussion. The only way a discussion could legitimately be closed is for me to delete it.

I am still pretty new to this website, but saw your discussion and then had to go take a look for myself. That was really rude, and once more people see what happened I don't think people will comment on anymore discussion from that mylotter. This place is for discussions, if you don't want to carry the discussion further it is fine not to comment back, but to write that is just downright rude, not to mention ignorant.

it never happened to me.but its really freaking.i guess u got that because that discussion was deleted or something....

I think he chose someone as best response and closed it off.

Huh...this is something odd. I have been here for 4 years and have never encountered such a weird reply. I fear this person needs to attend the school of mylotting! if it is ever conducted. Being ignorant here is no excuse as it is vividly stated in the guidelines how to use this site to the best advantage.

Hi, whiteheather39. I have never went through this before. It was very nice of you to have responded to their discussion in the first place. I would not respond to any of their discussions anymore either. I think that they were being generous and rude at the same time. And how are they given the authority to close their own discussion? As long as this discussion is available, anybody and anyone is able to give a response. Since when did they make this rule? I would just ignore them. It is sad to start a discussion, and then tell another member that their discussion is now closed. They should be thankful that you have even bothered to leave an response.

Oh no,i never had experience like this,and i never heard from other mylotters having experience like this too. Just now,upon reading your topic,or maybe other mylotters did encounter this kind of response and they just ignored it. Well,i like my discussion to have longer inter-action,so my topic is never been closed even with my oldest topic Cheer up dear,there are lot of friends here to respond with

Well, I guess some find it amusing to be rude. I have read much worse (not here) where people log on to a site at weekends, when admin/ moderators are thin on the ground, and deliberately set out to offend with explicit language.

Why start a discussion if you dont intend to want anyone to comment or if you going to make snide remarks, I think it is rather rude, I wouldn't take it personaly because some people are just rude by nature.

I've never seen that before. That's kinda odd
