This is usually the problem with us. We love and like to receive tons of replies from our friends from the posted discussions. If we find people who aren't replying to discussion deletion is your answer. You shouldn't it only means that you discussion didn't catch the attention of the readers.
Another reason because of time difference. Let them response on their on time. If they didn't reply to your discussion timely I guess they are still asleep. If you have same time and he/she didn't reply to your discussion it only means they didn't like what you've posted. No hard feeling. Don't make it personal. Its matter of likes and dislikes.
But deleting friends in your lists should be our last options.
Would you agree?

I do not delete any members from my list at all. I understand the dynamics as to why or why not members may or may not respond. If members delete me then that is fine as it is all a matter of preference.
I do have a couple I have debated about as I get loads and loads of overwhelming discussions that I cannot relate to. I still will not delete them as it is not all that bad and there are days I can respond to one or maybe two of the discussions. I figure since no one is being rude and or disrespectful why delete.

Okay, delete people from where?
I try to respond to everyone, but I have so much to do, that I don't always have the time to take care of everyone and everything. I have a lot on my plate (or agenda book). I have so many things that I have to do that I am literally planning out all of my days even though I would rather not because I don't believe in planning things out.

Delete you because no response from you? That to me is a rather harsh move. There are friends who have nothing to say, so they give a positive rating to the post. Deleting them just because they did not say a word may not be a wise move.
There were discussions in the past in connection with friends not responding. In most cases these discussion starters hardly, if ever, respond to their friends' discussions. Where is the fairness?
Before deleting a friend we should ensure that we have covered all the bases, especially on the issue of responding to friends' discussions.

I never deleted any friends because they didn't respond to my discussions. I don't respond to all discussions my friends did when such discussion don't interest me at all. But if they delete me because of such reason, it's their own free will to do so coz i don't mind at all.
But for me, I don't delete friends who didn't respond to my discussions at all.

Making friends here is not about adding them on the list for the purpose of getting responses for every discussion you started. It's their very right to decide why and when they would like to respond. I will never ever delete any friend for that shallow reason and I don't expect anything from them in return of the 'accept friendship' button. If my friends will delete me for not responding to their discussion, it's fine for they view friendship in different perspective.
If I may add, one reason why we can't get response from particular friend is probably their mylot email notification is disabled or they don't check emails regularly.

I totally agree! I don't delete people from my friends list for something like that. Heck, I've only ever deleted one person on here as it is and it had nothing to do with that! I understand that there are reasons behind them not answering my discussions. I certainly don't hold it against them. So people who are on my friends list will stay on my friends list whether they respond to my discussions or not...unless, of course, they delete me from their friends list, that is!
Happy mylotting!

i rarely delete anyone.it does no harm to leave them sit.
spamming or attacking one of my friends is usually what buys a deletion from me.

I will never do that to my friends. If ever i start another discussion again, i wont bother if all of them respond to my post or not. It's their choice because whenever they start, i dun respond to all of theirs too. IT's all about interest and knowing what to respond. After all, i have to comment on their responds too!! haha

i too do not delete friends from my list. actually, we have discussed this in the past. and we believe, members who went inactive in times could still find their way back to this beautiful site we all have met.

I definitely agree with you! I am quite behind with my notifications therefore I am late with my responses and I would hate to think that my friends are deleting me from their list! That would not be a nice thing to do at all and I would not do such a thing myself...We are all busy and go through periods when we are not able to be here as much; we should not be penalised for this...

I never delete my friend in my friends list. Moreover they don't response my articles. I think that everyone can response if they want. If they don't want to response, they can do that. They're still my friends.

I do not delete people very often and it is not for not responding to my discussions. I do not start that many discussions anyway. I have only deleted people who spam me with links when I tell them I am not interested . I have also deleted people who start twenty or more discussions without commenting on any responses, and also starting the same discussions over and over when he got deleted. You are correct that some of our friends are in different time zones and also may just not have anything to say about some of our topics. I do not answer all the discussions from all of my friends,and I do not expect that from them either.

i don't know, i have been here for a long time. and there are some people that just won't come back. I mean i would love for some of my referrals to come back, but some just don't come back. I will only delete friends that have been here more then a year and have less then 100 post. that means they are just not interested. yes it is a lost resort to delete friends, but i have and will do so

Yeah I agree. I think it's dumb people are getting to aggresive on this site and if you don't respond they get mad and delete you. Alot of us have real jobs and only get on here when we have time. I work 2 jobs and I get on here at work on my breaks or when were slow and I have nothing else to do. But that's not very often. I don't get on here at home because i'm busy doing household chores or relaxing after rough day at work. But I try to get on and respond to discussions but I have noticed alot of friends don't post alot of discussions anymore and that's fine. I'm not going to get mad and delete them because their not active. No way of living to get mad at something little like that. But You're right it shouldn't be this way and we dont always respond to every single discussions posted. I surely don't because I normally don't have anything to say so why respond if you have nothing to discuss back?

Delete your friends and it costs you money, you are no longer notified of their discussion and thus miss your best chance to respond and gain your monetary rewards. The only reason I delete friends is if they are repeatedly offensive to me in their discussions. After all you can have as many friends as you wish,

I don't delete friends who don't respond to my discussions. I think there can be a lot of reasons why my friends don't respond. Maybe it is because of the time difference, maybe it is because they are busy with other things, maybe they have many friends and receive a lot of new discussions, maybe they aren't interested in the topic etc. That is not is problem, I always apreciate the responses that I get and I enjoy "talking" to the people who respond, but responding isn't some kind of obligation

Hi syoti,
Generally I do not delete people from my friends' list since I know For various reason they are stuck somewhere and soon resume.
Second thing, I am not omnipotent that I know everything and can respond any discussion.
I am your friend and most of my discussions are computer and internet which you are not so conversant. Would it be ignoring you?
Thirdly, not possible for me that I attend all your discussions.
