Hostile Response on Mylot

I've never really been in that situation. I've had some people who STRONGLY disagreed with me, and we debated back and forth, but I've never had someone be actually hostile. I think I would just ignore them. If they start getting hostile they are not going to have a worthy discussion. "Dont Feed the Trolls" is my motto.. lol

dj_huh from one of the oldest users here some free advice. do not reciprocate with more hostility as both you and the hostile responder will get your posts deleted due to "flame wars" from the admins. I was there and goofed and did that. childish, embarrassing and stupid to do. Now if someone posts a hostile response I read it reread it, if its really insulting I hit the exclamation point and report it as abusive. simple and let mylot admins check it and see if they feel its abusive too.dissing back is not allowed here so do not do it.report anyone who talks nasty to you.

Hi DJ, I think you must be talking about me,hon. I think that because you said I was hostile in my response to you on your other discussion. You completely misunderstood my intent. I was not feeling hostile a bit and I sure was not intentionly trying to offend you. I had no idea when I responded that you were in another country and waiting on working papers. I appologized for any misunderstanding in that discussion and I'm going to apologize again here. I honestly thought that the reason why you were out of work for a year was because you were having trouble finding work and it didn't even occur to me to think of you as a rich brat. I wasn't implying a thing at all. Had I known that you had been waiting on working papers then I am sure I would have answered differently. I didn't think at all that you were sitting around the house not even trying to work. I guess my answer was based on my own experience with my youngest daughter who quit her job last year and it she seriously did look for work for several months to no avail and she regretted quitting before she had something else. She was ok because she is still living with me but missed the spending money. I feel bad and I am very sorry that you felt so offended by response. I assure you that you did misunderstand me.

I have been in this situation a few times actually. It bothers me because I feel there is absolutely NO reason for it. What I did was kill them with kindness, that is what I have learned to do after I got a few of those. At first I would go back at them, then I realized that is EXACTLY what they want, to get a reaction out of you. So, now I am just the nicest person to them ever. I think it ticks them off. There are a lot more nice people here than the rude ones, there really is only a few of those mean ones. So you can either ignore it or be nice to them. They will eventually stop being rude because they are not getting the response they want to get... Stick with the people who have been nice and don't worry about the mean ones!
