"If You disagree just shut up" is this appropriate in our discussions ?

i looked at what I had done and felt I was just as wrong as he'was and asked to have it deleted. I was really angry when I read that and I just was not thinking as I think they probably will delegte my emoticons anyway. lol see it really did not add to the discussion. I guess I should have been big enough to say I do not appreciate the w ay you are going about this.

Members at times forget that this is a discussion forum and not a place where they should be disrespectful. There are many ways of conveying information and telling people to "shut up" just does not belong in any form of discussion, especially when they are the one asking for opinions. That "Post" as I will call it was not a discussion but a way to convey hey look at this and I am not asking for opinions at all.

I guess we have to hold our tongues even when we are angry. I sometimes feel short with certain over and over posts.

hi elicbxn I too expect some to diasagree with my own viewpoint in any discussion I make as we are all different and as long as nobody is rudeof insulting I enjoy the back and forth. otherwise I do not respond to an insult I just report.

hi celticeagle yes indeed no it was not at me but at anyone who dared to disagree he warned them to just shut up. not lambie hes not like that. I am sure if I mention politics and left and right you will catch on.

hi celtic he is usually on political discussions. take of parachute 'and the nickname ted.

I really don't know alot of the folks on here. That doesn't ring a bell. And it is funny how quickly you picked up on 'Lambie'. Funny.

hi gaiza right on we are welcome here to share ou r own opinions and if we disagree that is ou r right but we should do it with respect and courtesy not insulting. nobody has the right to say who can respond to his discussion and tell anyone who disagrees not to post there. discussions are for sharing our views and as we are a large international site we come from all over fthe world so we may have a lot of different views. thats what makes our discussions so much fun.

hi gaiza yes its a lot more fun and more interesting if everyone is hgonest in giving his or her opinion on something as wecan share' ideas and actually learn from each other.

I totally agree with you! What fun is there if you only see one side of the discussion. We just have to be open to any responses or comments.

hi aurorastorm I am the same way as I know everyone will not agree and I do not mind if some do disagree as it makes a more interesting discussion. just so the disagreeing person does not become insulting or tells me to shut upf.

HI, I thought I pop in your box and say Hi!

No, I do not think that the two options should be smile,agree,nod or shut up. If someone feels that they should be allowed to speak and not have any rebutle, then they should speak in fron of the mirror.

hi fabsprecious yes I always thought if we do disagree and do itwith respect that is what makes a discussion more fun and a real discussion as how can any of us all come up withe the same viewpoints as we are all individuals. I am not saying we can be insulting as thats wrong but we should be able to say what we feel or think in respectful terms.

hi fab sp recious yes that was offensive to me too.you do not tell anyone to shut up. those words have had m ore men tale potshot at someone. something in it is so darned rude and offensive.

Definitely, as long as your remain respectful to the person during the discussion, I don't see anything wrong with disagreeing. But I do find offensive what that individual wrote, that was just completely wrong.

hi ladygator lost my comment trying ag ain.yes I do agree he had no right to say who could respond to him. it got him nowhere as right after I posted this discussion his was deleted. he has been here awhile so he'should know better;.mylot admins themselves say we are all welcome'to respond to any discussion we wish;we have a right to give our own opinions too whether or not they agree with his.

whiteheather and lambie this man did not believe in rules I guess as he decided whom he wanted to respond and whom he did not want to respond. After my discussion posted evidently the admins deleted his discussion.

Hi Hatley! Am very much on mylot each day .............. (might have missed participating in your discussions). Yeah, you are right that politeness, mutual respect and dignity in a discussion should always be there to make it look more decent. Deepak

hi dpk have not see you for awhile. Yes I dislike that too as its rude and uncalled for. we are free to exprfess our own feeling here in our discussions with respect and civility. that is wha a discussion is a coming together of various people wih all sorts of varying opinions. it makes it more fun that way.

hi tonyllenium let me explain; this person said in his discussion \ if you do not agree with me just shut up. that meant do not post on my discussion if you do not agree with me.His discussion was deleed because it broke mylot rules. keep posting tony and you will get] better and you will understand us better too. tony it is okay to disagree if you are respectful with it.

hi cream y es its an expression that always makes me furious. If he wanted only people who b elieved the way he did he chould make a web site not make discussions like that. it was deleted by the admins.

allknowing he broke mylot rules and right after I posted my discussion his was deleted because he had no right to tell who could or could not post on his public forum discussion.I did nothing wrong in ' making my discussion and yes I have a right to say when someone had done something so insulting that he was wrong. you do not tell people not to post on your discussion if they do not agree with you.I am not telling off anyone. why are you chastizing me?

hi Austee and welcome to mylot. we all have a right to give our ' opinions and even disagree as long as we respect eacht others rights to their own opinions.You cannot have a discussion if all just parrot each other. only when diverse ideas are brought yhp then we are really discussing.

Thanks for your warm welcome =) I agree with you. There can really be no discussion if there is a common idea. But then, we should respect each other. =)

hio Katiifruit no he should never have done that in fact he should have been smart enough to know a discussion becomes public property once it hits mylot.you just cannot tell people that they are not welcomne to post anything that disagrees with the big shot poster. You cannot do that mylotters. notat all

youless even you and I have sometimes had different view points but we respected one others viewpoints and that is what makes a good discussion. his discussion must have been deleted as I went back and could not find it again.

hi ifa yes mylot does pay us to express our opinions but in a kind and respectful way so that he or she understands we are not being rude nor disrespecting their opinions also. I did ignore him, but only after I had written an angry response and I asked mylot admins to please delete my response as it broke mylot rules and I did not want that in the discussion at all. I noticed that they did delete his discussion shortly after I had posted this discussion. I did not report him but I am sure mylot is not stupid and found that and felt like I did. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

hi thesids shortly after I posted this discussion I went back and his discussion was gone so mylot admins did delete it. I am glad they'die as that was just not right yes things like that can turn away newbies who would become great mylotters.

hi stepje yes we are told here to treat one another with respect and encourage people to share their own viewpoints as that is what a discussion is sharing ou r different views on things peacefullyu 'and with due respect.

hatley my name is hatley no hate in me. yes we c an support others bvt we c annot dictate to them that they must agree with our opinions. do you not see the rudeness the inability to cope with those who have different opinions?we are not to minus anyone because we do not agree with their opinion.you are saying we have to agree even if we do not or someone will ruin our rating? now what if you felt abortion is wrong and you got a lot of opinions that abortion was a good thing now are you just going to lie and agree so nobody will get mad? of course not you have a right to state your own opinion on anything and we must treat you with respect as you must treat those who believe otherwise with the same respect.don't you see where I am coming from? if your star drops that fast you contact admins as they willcatch the troll. but honestly the best discussions come from p eople who rightly give their own opinions.and please do not ever call me hately again it is hatley.

mingviva you do not grasp what I was saying, he has no ri ght to tellyou we cannot respond unless we aqree with him, he is telling p eople he willnot allow anyone who disagrees with him to respond. I know all of what you say a d you are right, but he overstepped and now my lot admins deleted his discussion. that shoule tell you something.
