when responding to a post do you?

Hi sweetie. I always respond honestly and can only hope i don't offend anyone. I always try my best to be helpful. I don't get why people need to be rude. Your opinion here is appreciated, but we don't want harsh and rude people. I never really think, i always try to place myself in the discussion starter's position. As i want those who respond to my discussions to be honest, but nice as well.

I always give my honest response based on what I think about the topic and not to agree or disagree with the topic starter. Tho I always see to it that Im giving my words in a manner that is not insulting to anyone like insulting the person itself. We are here to express what we believe what we think about some matters, we might be sounding harsh because we utter things opposite to what other people wanted to hear or read, and I think its just normal and healthy conversation, we really cant avoid to be sounding rude specially if we are presenting an opinion different from what others believe but there some people who sometimes comment with sarcasm to a person like calling him idiot, silly or whatever terms, criticizing the person and not his actual opinion is a real different story(well for me).

I try to be honest but in a nice way. I feel that other person does not want me to sugar coat the response but he or she does not want to go into a deep depression that he or she would get if I wrecked him or her over the coals=

I always put what I am feeling whether it be bad or good. I'm going to let that person know how I feel and I believe that is what the person is wanting when they are asking the question. They want to know your opinion, they don't want to hear what they'd like to hear. I've seen that so many times as well, where people just put what the person asking the question want to hear and it shouldn't even be like that.

hi, actually i am really hard to find time to respond all response that myloter community done,sometimes if i have time them i could possibly comment too to there responses,and i am grateful to those mylot user who always response to the topic i have been created.

hi, when i am responding to a post or in a discussion i actually say what i think on the topic,i mean the first thing comes to my mind,and aside from that i always respond honestly or maybe according to my experience or i have been encountered in my life.

Since you prefer honesty, as I do, I do not post a lot on Mylot. If a thread does not interest me, I do not post a reply. I do not post what the person who starts a discussion wants to hear, unless I agree with that person. Have a good day.

I respond according to the first thing that comes in my mind. Right now that's it; the rest is blank since you're just asking a question that doesn't need too much elaboration. Hope you appreciate my thoughts about this. Thanks and happy mylotting.

When I am responding to discussions on here, I always try to be as honest as possible. I think that this is important because there are a lot of people that are looking for advice and if you are not able to be honest when you are making your suggestions, then you are really not giving that person any kind of help at all. I do realize that there might be some times that someone gets upset about what I've said, but I know that everyone is entitled to have their opinion, so I don't judge people for their opinions.

I always respond to a discusdion according to how i feel about it. i might be using words that could be harsh at times but, i apologize for that.

When I respond to a post I write facts or my personal opinion. I try not to be harsh but I never write something just to appease another. They want the truth and sometimes it is not what you want to hear. Again it is the opinion of another and since this is all written attitudes should not get bent out of shape. People inflict an attitude when reading something doesn't mean the one who wrote it felt that when the words went on the screen. Anyone can question what you meant when you wrote it. It is not good to twist another's words because it injured your pride. Telling people what you think they want to hear is for toddlers and no one here is a child anymore. Adults want answers and are offered them. It is up to them to take the advice or not. If something is said that isn't the way you expected to hear it or hear at all respond back with another question to be sure what message was actually being relayed when answering the original question or discussion post.

I respond to only posts that I can relate and have an idea with. I cannot respond to any discussions that I do not know so it is always comes from my mind or I actually think about.

I write what is in my mind and my heart , i never care if it favors the author or not. My answer is not to impress anyone .

i usually avoid topics that would make me angry or will give me negative emotions that's why i pick only the discussions which i can handle with, i read some of the responses 1st then start responding...

Well I think the whole idea of responding to discussions is to speak your mind. However I do tend to tone down my words sometimes because I do not want to offend anyone. Even if I feel very strong about a certain subject. I think honesty is the best in the end, not only with online discussions but with everything.

I agree with you, when I write something I would rather read a true reaction than someone just trying to agree with me as they think that is what I want to hear.

I think I've been pretty honest in my replies, and there's this incident a couple of days ago when I offended someone about something that I responded to, but I apologized for it and requested the other person to take my reply generally, since I am replying to the original poster's discussion (which apparently has something to do with another mylotter). I told her that I didn't even know that it was her being referred to. I admitted that I do not really have knowledge of both sides of the story and I am merely replying in general. Still, if I unintentionally hurt someone here, it is not hard for me to say sorry and own up to it. But of course, it would have been better if we are all open-minded. We can all agree to disagree and just take each other's opinions as it is. No more reading something that isn't even there.

I honestly respond what I really think after I read the post.
