You are right that we all have different opinions. However I was referring to a discussion that was not opinion-based. I love to hear other people's opinions because it gives me perspective. I don't like when people post things that are simply meant to be a self-pity-party, especially when the discussion is a happy one.

I saw the topic that you are referring to and was about to comment there but now I am glad that I didn't. I see your second comment when you say that you received the 'response' that you were looking for and now you mention that it was not 'opinion-based'. This leads me to think that you posted a question and were looking for answers? If so then you have not understood the concept of myLot which was created for discussions, not questions and answers. We earn here for adding comments which further the topic and saying 'thank you for the response' is part of the 'don't's' in the Guidelines because it leaves nothing to discuss. We do not earn for the responses that others post on their topics, they do. We earn when we comment and get a disussion moving forward.

but by her doing that shes mandating who can and cannot respond and that does not set well by most here. this is a free forum where we c an all respond. no life is all happy happy, joy joy so there will always be some who respond from their own heart and it might not be full of joy bu t it is genuine and wanting her to hear and try to understand too.too much sugar with some spice can be really sort of depressing. I like the idea that we can all share various emotions without anyone being upset because we do not always agree with the poster.

I am afraid I did not realize you felt you must dictate only happy responses as here we make discussions and they are open to all of us. you will get those who agree and those who do not but that is not negative at all. negative is when someone disrespects you and that must be reported. but we cannot tell people how to respond to our own discussions as we all have a right to our own opinions and if we tried to have only those who agree it would not be a discussion. so try to see where the rest of us are coming from. we are all free to give our own opinions and our own feelings here with respect of course. but we do not tell people what they can or cannot respond with as we are free here. so no we cannot tell someone only post happy comments as we are free here to discuss various aspects of the discussions.welcome you will soon grasp what I am trying to say.
