I think there is a great difference bewteen those of us who have fun among friends that we know, allbeit though our posts on here, and those who come here just to be nasty. I have seen posts recently which are so borderline and the user posting them sure has a strange way of getting their fun. Belittling others is not to be done, here or anywhere else and if it turns into abuse then it should be reported.

I know that a while back there was a person that just seemed to want to be rude and stir up trouble. This person kept saying that they wanted "real" reactions and "real" discussions, but when anyone tried to debate with facts this person just retreated and ignored the people that really were trying to debate rather than just stir up trouble and get everyone arguing. I have not seen this person on here lately, and I believe that they canceled their account. I think that people that just want to be mean and rude for the sake of getting reactions or because they think it is fun should try another "hobby" or "interest". Maybe they could start poking hornets nests with sticks or something to see what their reaction would be ...

Oh sometimes I make a remark to get a reaction, but generally it's to a person that I know is going to be OK with it. And it's not all I do on here, sometimes I'm very flippant, and other times I'm very serious, and everything in between. But somebody who is always like that would annoy me too!

I have come across many people like that in my time at MyLot. You just have to ignore them. If they annoy you so much, you should block them so that you would never see anything that they'd posted again. Some people actually don't understand that they're annoying people when they post things, and they just so happen to put their opinions to people in different ways than others. Generally, people who are like that on the internet are usually unpopular and shy during real life- and they make themselves feel a lot better by acting like that on the internet.

Cowgirl- Why does this not surprise me? I think they exist everywhere from Mylot to Myspace. I'm beginning to truly think, though I hate to commit Ageism, that it's simply teens with nothing better to do. That or they are using this for one of their pysch projects. (Though I sort of doubt that last one). I agree with the others that this person should be reported, especially if they came out and admitted to being contrary just to get a reaction out of people. There are far better ways to debate. Other than that, I suggest simply ignoring them and encouraging others to do the same. I realize there are quite a few who like the "fight", but it's not worth it to feed the trolls. It simply inflates their already inflated egos and hurts those who may not wish to 'fight'. As far as it being abuse, I sincerely agree that it is a form of verbal abuse. Though, I'm not truly sure how one would go about prosecuting someone online for verbal abuse other than to simply print the transcripts, turn them over their local authority, and let the professionals handle it. Just be safe. Never provide information that would allow a person to find you, or your loved ones. Do not make verbal thrats yourself as that could be used against you especially if you threatened harm. (I'm not saying you do, but for sake of discussion). Hopefully, if this person is ignored long enough they will simply leave Mylot and move along. Namaste-Anora

I think that there are alot of people that will try to get other peoples backs up on her,aswell as any where else they can get a reaction,but if you give them any kind of reaction then they just carry on,as they are getting a response.People like that i tend to ignore as much as i can,as that way they tend to get rather bored.

Well this Person must have a sad Life I mean what is the point in that apart from obviously annoying People I would say this Person wants to grow up and start using the Site like it is suppose to be used

I would have to see the discussions, but believe me, if I thought it was abusive, I would report it, even if I was not the target of the pest. No need for that.

Sounds like a person on my friend list. But I doubt the person I'm thinking of would actually admit it. So I probably don't know who you're talking about. I guess one can only go by a discussion and response basis. If it really does get to be abuse, then reporting it is a good thing to do. I mean everyone doesn't hesitate to report poll discussions, why should they hesitate to report people who are verbally abusive? An please people, bear in mind I don't know who she's talking about, so no lambasting, okay?!

Hi SCG! I am with you and I do not like such users who tease, scare or mock others for 'their fun'. There is very thin line between fun and teasing and here it gets difficult to distinguish between the two, specially, when two users are not good friends and know about each other.

There is one who really used to annoy me but I don't see this member on or this member doesn't answer mine because this member finally got the idea. Then there is another one that used to have one name and this member was deleted or something and have come back with another username. I try very hard not to respond to this member but when I do I am honest and try to use tact which I am not all that good at doing. I do try. Not sure who you are talking about but these are the only two that irritate me.

That Mylot memeber needs to report for abuse to admistration! I think that is the right thing to do! I can't believe there is someone on Mylot who only joined to be a jerk! Unbelievible! That is not good! I have not come across this person but if I did I would report them! Mylot doesn't need people like that on this site! I hope they are thrown off Mylot!

I agree. I come on here to answer questions that I know I can give advice to. I also come on here to look for advice. I think that if someone comes on here to annoy others should be banned from here and should not get paid. With the economy being bad and many people looking for ways to help their income people come on here because mylot pays.

I suppose that we all do that to an extent, but not to deliberately annoy or test. There are some sad people about. Then you only have to walk down the street or open a newspaper to realise that.Just have a look at this to realise what people can be like. She cannot be prosecuted, but hopefully that will not matter as she will meet a tiger one night in a dark alley... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1305458/Facebook-protest-woman-cat-wheelie-bin-gets-police-protection.html#ixzz0xYLaqzvY Yet someone CAN be prosecuted for selling a goldfish to someone under 16.
