What is the meaning of discussion

I agree with you. But, as a friend just wrote, many people come here and don´t even bother to read the rules of the site. They do not understand what a social site is, they don´t know what a discussion is either. Maybe they have never discussed a thing with anyone. I´m afraid that lately people are forgetting to socialise. Many people don´t know the difference between talking (to a stone even) and conversind (sharing ideas). It is pityful. Let´s not do it, if we can help it.

As far i understand, discussion is act and communication between people such as argument, exchanging reasons, debate, exchanging view, exchanging experience, opinion, advise, decision, conclusion, brainstorming and etc. As long people can talk or response, this is discussion. otherwise, i call it whispering or you talk alone and don't expect any feedback from people. so let discuss anything what you feel, what you think, what you want to say, what you disagree and etc. Happy mylotting!!

If we just started one discussion at a time we would never make any money on this site. I do think that a person can over do it and get way out of hand with the amount of threads they start. I think a happy medium is the way to go. Overduing anything can cause problems and can be a detrimant.

Hi calpro, I have been on mylot for more than two years now and what have you put in your post has been nagging me constantly as to how many of us really stick to the connotation of the word"discussion"? Not all or not too many. There are people who start a discussion and even if they get more than ten responses they would pick up a few to reply and leave other orphan as if there were nothing in the inputs. This is not discussion. As per rule of mylot even if you are keen earning here you have to comment back or else there is no increase in your balance. Now for get about money since most of us are not here merely for money but to have really fruitful discussions. But unfortunately that is missing most of the time.

Hello to you Calpro! This point was brought up by another user here who shares the same opinion with you. And that's my opinion too, when we discuss something we start a topic that is open for all kinds of opinion whether they be negative or positive and we reply if the response to our started discussion is worth replying to. I reply to a response only when it is relevant to my started discussion and if the member has commented something needs to be farther discussed.

in my opinion,discussion is one on which everyone express their own opinions,just like you stared this discussion on the meaning of "discussion".we respond to you to express our own opinions

Put it simply, a discussion is about adding your voice to an opinion or point of view. You can support a view point or take the opposing view and as soon as you do that, you will have discussed a subject!

Hello calpro, A few years ago, I was introduced to this site as one of the ways to earn money online. I came here with that on my mind. Based on some discussions started, you can earn more if you start more discussions and respond more to others. That s why I guess, many members here start as many discussions as they could. In fact, I started to realize that it is not easy to earn money here. But not long after that, I get addicted to be online so that I can be here,not because of the earnings but just to be able to respond to others and starting new discussions. It is not easy to start a discussion as most of the topics are covered by others. If I don't have anything to share or discuss, I won't simply start a discussion. I prefer to respond to others whenever I have time to do so. Whenever I start a discussion, I hope to hear from others too. Even if just a response, it will make me happier than before. And for me, a discussion means like a two ways communication. If you keep starting discussions and no one reply or you don't even comment on their responses, it is better not to start any discussions at all.

Yes, you are giving such as nice definition and understanding about what is a discussion my friend calpro! That is right, one must post a topic or subject to talk to, once other people are coming in and giving there best thought about a particular matter, then the starter of the topic must comment back, making a healthy thread on every boxes... Lotters also can barge, it is not his or her box, he or she can still add some valuable or interesting idea making the whole conversation alive and kicking! And, you, unknowingly, the cents are pouring in generously to our earnings, that's one of the good secret here! As long as I have the chance, I see to it that I can response or comment back to those Lotters who gave their response to my post... just some exemption when I am at home, and my handset give me trouble in searching for those responses! Very nice topic my friend and have a wonderful day and mylotting!

Hi calpro... You are very true. i have already raised this issue about some mylotters who start discussion rapidly. It annoys me a lot as i am not this type of mylotter. I start a discussion before completing my comments to each responses of my last discussion. then i start the new one, most often i prefer to start a discussion on my experience or problem. Have a nice day.

Hi Calpro, Discussion actually is an exchange of ideas among people within the site. It give each one of us freedom to speak out what we have in mind and we may be able to discuss the matter. We are not only sharing but we also come to a point of making a conclusion towards the subject or the topic. I appreciate people discussing my discussions and were able to give solution to it. I love responding to discussions rather than making one, now a days.

yeah you are right sometime start some people to much discussions but i also can understand them if ther some question coming up in my head i must make a discussion of it i cant wait then because i want to know what ather people say about it! But I must use the search option more to see if ther already related discussions or blogs!
