How Do You Respond To Rude Responses? Or Do You?

It all depends on what they actually say. So far I haven't really had a rude response or at least I don't remember. At times I've had some that disagree with me and that's all right. I think someone that responds in a rude way tells much about themselves.

It has happened very rarely that anyone has been rude or unfriendly. They might just have a bad day or eaten some junk food that is disturbing the thinking.. So better not judge anyone, as we don´t know their circumstances. Last time someone was a bit unfriendly, I remembered the wise words in Proverbs 15:1 [b]"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."[/b] So I answered as friendly as I could and so far have not got any answer. I guess many are not used to be treated friendly in this world. We don´t need to behave like others who are rude. If we do, how can we show them a better way to talk to others? Maybe they have never learned to give gentle comments and may have the chance to change if we show them a good example..

I guess you just have to ignore it. I have not received any negative comments as of late. But if ever I will be put into such a situation, I will just ignore it. You cannot please everybody anyway. And I guess others are entitled to their opinion much as you are entitled to say anything about your initiated discussions. The true measure of maturity of a man I believe is how he responds in certain situations. True, there may be situations where managing our temper can get out of hand. But I believe that the more you manage it, the more you are able to show how mature you are in dealing with those situations. Every stimulant in this world would trigger either a positive response or negative. By principle of averages, you can expect that there will be different views, some may be too harsh, but for them its normal. You just have to understand individual differences and preferences. I hope this helps you. Happy mylotting!

Well if its too rude i wont waste my time responding to such person. But if the rudeness is on the edge i will respond and i will tell the person i do not respect what he or she is doing, so he be/she better changes his/her attitude.

I respond to rude responses with a rude one. I don't let it slip like a fly. If they can do that, hell, i can, too. I'd report it if it's way over the edge. The admin will delete that comment and it's a deduction to their earnings and number of posts. I'll also rate them negative if i'm in the mood.

Jujunme.....the kitten is so cute, is it yours? I suggest that dont take so hard of the response that u receive, that is why it is called discussion, let them speak their mind, sometimes we human react certain ways due to environment or other influnces....get even not driven

So far I've never come across any rude responses. Well if I do, I think I'll just respond back whilst actually 'shooting' back at them or I'll rate them negative.

I just explain to the person my thoughts about the discussion. We cannot all agree to ideas and opinions. But if the member is hitting you below the belt already, you have the rights to report that person for disrespect because it is not allowed in this community. But if the person just disagrees to your ideas, then he or she has the rights to just say, reply in a manner which is right but don't argue or debate because it is also not approve here. I don't rate someone negatively for an opinion, but if the person is doing something which is against the rules of Mylot, then that is the time I needed to report.

Whenever I get rude comments, I would first try to take it as a joke, but if it is a bit more serious I would insult them back. I don't like to receive rude comments, and since I don't start insulting them first, I am not to be the one to blame if I insult them back. I hate people on the internet who like to start "trolling" and they really tick me off.

Depends on the content of the message, my mood at the time, and how much free time I have. Sometimes, getting into a flame war can be a fun way to kill some time, even if everyone knows the argument will get deleted at the end. Rudeness can be personal attacks (without actually responding to the topic at all), or it can be responding on-topic but in a way that implies they think their own opinion is the only right one. I downrate personal attacks, since those really don't contribute anything to the discussion. Rudely-phrased opinions, I may or may not reply to. Generally, people like those won't change their minds even if you present them with evidence showing that they're wrong, so it's not really useful to respond except maybe to clarify the topic for other people who may be reading his responses.

Yeah...i have received rude comments to few of my responses --- what the heck they think of themselves to exhibit their disagreeing stuff!I have never reported anyone though but rated them negatively quiet a handful of times.I would love to stay away from those who argue coz I'M NOT HERE TO BRAG.Great day.

Well, first of all i would like to say that i haven't yet received such type of rude responses and thank god for that. But if i get a rude response by any member here then i will just rate him/her negatively as you did and i think that's the right way to handle them. But we should not get annoyed from such type of people. Happy mylotting. Regards, harry.

I do, especially when i think that they have taken my posts in a negative way. I explained to them that it's not how they have taken it and told them to read and understand again my post. It cannot be avoided for there are some that instead of just giving their opinion, they will take it personally that they will even tell you to leave them alone hahaha where in fact, this is just a sharing. Have a good day!

I guess in real life i stand my ground and say my peace, so the same goes here on mylot. why change for the net? peace and hugs to all! lol.xxx

i usually just ignore them if i read it and it sounds sarcastic, but if it kinda like targeting me or the discussion starter i usually comment on it and called that person out about how he/she being rude then rate him/her negatively.
