Respect should be a given here..

I think i would be angry because of so ignorant people. But yes, i fully agree that Mylot is place where you shouldn't be afraid to express YOUR opinion, your point of view without getting attacked. Of course, there is always some people who has to do that, even Mylot can't be perfect. Try calming down and ignore that people who harass you :)

I would report the person. Its not right to be abusive. I know that sometimes I can be rather mean in my wording and I really do try not to be but its something that I am working on. I like you will say im sorry when I am wrong but not at the expense of being abused by another member. I mean to say that your wrong is one thing and to nicely let you know how your wrong is another but to be mean and abusive about it is not the way that my lot should be. I know that we all will from time to time have a difference of opinions but that does not mean that we can treat each other like garbage cause we disagree.

I saw the post that you are referring to and I know that every time that there is something along those lines, the outcome is almost always the same. Some people don't like it when they get things wrong and other people don't like to see others dishing out incorrect information. If I were you in that situation I would have accepted that I was wrong - and I would have reported my own post and asked for it to be removed.

Do you have an enemy in any Mylot members? I hope I am not one of them. If you have bad reaction or response at that person, You should delete him/her as your friends. We do not want an enemy or war freak. We are not really perfect when it comes to response. Its unfair that you are being offended by others. If a person attacks or make me abusive, I will not respond and I will keep myself silent or do not bother his or here response.

I have never really got a good grasp on the old "turn the other cheek" bit, so I bite. Hard. DSometimes in the political or religious forums things can get a bit heated, and you will get two people insulting each other (yes, I plead guilty, a fight fire with fire), but I feel that at least I should wait until the other fella has his go before I fight back. That said, there have been one or two occasions in the past, hopefully not these days, when I have been guilty of calling someone a fool or something similar when they have made a blatantly stupid or cruel or bigoted comment. These days I try to use ridicule of the statement without getting personal about the stater. And of it really gets to you, use the report button. Lash

I absolutely agree 1000% with what you're saying! And I have said the same thing myself various times. Note: that respect issue, applies in every aspect of life, not just mylot. But anyways, yes, I agree completely with you! If I received a message that was abusive, ignorant, derogatory, etc, I would calmly explain to them that everyone has their opinions on things, and they are wrong to degrade someone they disagree with. If you disagree with someone, leave it alone, or calmly and respectfully explain your point of view. If they were just being flat out ignorant or disrespectful, I would probably tell them to stop messaging me, or I would just ignore the message. If it was bad enough, I would report it.

you are right but if i was u i would put them on youtube and they wouldnt like that

Hi there, I did not see the comments that you are referring to but judging from Diana's response, I am guessing that it had something to do with Mylot rules or earnings or something?? If that is the case, then it is true that odds are you will get pounced on if you post incorrect info and for the reasons that Diana mentioned. Is it right to be harsh? No,not really. There is always a kind way to deliver critisism. I did not see the response so I can't tell you whether it was overly rude or not but I do know that a lot of the ones that took the time to read the guidelines and all that we should upon joining get really tired of correcting all the misinformation that gets posted as "fact" on here. Not that it is right to be rude but in defense of the other person, could be that he/she had previously corrected a dozen such misconceptions prior to coming upon your comment??? Maybe just a bad day or mood? Unless you have had prior or on-going problems with this person then I think I would let it go unless there were name-calling and downright abuse involved. And again, I'm not saying you are wrong. Respect is important at all times. Also remember that sometimes we misunderstand other's words. I once had a young woman think that I attacked her when I disagreed with her based on the little information she provided to a situation. When she got upset with my answer, she provided many many more details that would have certainly made my response different. And through it all, I was not once even slightly rude to her....I just disagreed. She got so upset that she started another discussion about it and I could not apologize enough to her nor explain that she had not given enough info...her ears were closed.

hi sjvenden I wou d of course report it as insulting back just gets one in trouble.as humans others insult us it makes us angry but I find its best just t o report the person. if I am overreacting no harm done and the admins will let it stay but if I am not wrong they will delete it.You are right we allave our own opinions and they are ours so if we disagree we must do so with respect tellikng the other person I do respect your opinion but I have a different one and then tell what it is is.we do not insult the other person at all we do not disrespect them either. Can I agree to disagree is one thing bu t if I say "look your idea is idiotic and my idea is the real way to do' it y ou have broken rules a nd insulted a fellow my lot. that is not the way' to treat others.

If someone reply saying I am flat out wrong , I guess it all depends on their tone and their explanation . I would then debate my point further because I always love a challenge . If the person is being rude then that is totally different , I would maybe not even replay to them , I would probably just tell them I wish they have a good life because with that attitude I really doubt it . I have my personal views and I like sharing it and I also like knowing about others as well . So when someone dont agree with me , I always tell them to continue further because I am interested because I like to talk more after all that talk maybe we will find a common ground . We can all share our view without letting anyone feel small or meaningless . We all have different upbringing and different story , so sit back and listen to another person for a bit . Nice post hope some people learn from it

In any social discussion board or forum we will have people who are straight up and forward with the words they choose to use. Some may take them as being abusive, some may take them as a corrective opinion or corrective facts. We have to be human enough to read and re read to make sure of what it is. I have not or do not know which post you are referring to. I have had some come in and say I am wrong about facts, I ask for proof or will look it up myself. You know this of me already. Thing is if that is all they did was being rude in correcting something I may have been wrong on I will say thank you for the correction, could you be respectful in the way you state that what was posted was wrong. That is it. Everyone has away of using words. Some may not understand how the other uses their words to express themselves and that brings the conflict. If the words are abusive and accusing you need to report that member to mylot to let them decide whether or not it was abusive enough to take action against the member. That is what I would do. I have answered some discussions here and some have taken what I said as abusive and yet, mylot themselves saw it as my opinion, just given in a harsh straight up attitude. So it isn't always easy to determine in how to start or respond to some discussions when your emotions have been hit and hit hard. Best thing to do is report it and go on from there.

You can report a post or answer if you feel it is rude or abusive. Mylot takes care of that, so you need not worry. Just report it and administration will check the response. Remember that so many times we let words go in computers before we have time to edit what we say in our heads

There have been a few complaints in here lately about this type of thing. Different scenarios but abusive language of one sort or another. You should really report this. As Hatley said, let admin take care of it. No one has the right to verbally attack anyone in here. You did the right thing by not responding in anger. Some people need to learn how to agree to disagree. It's too bad this happened to you. I apparently didn't see the post or I would have reported it. But now, if I just happen to run across it..... Try to relax, sj, and don't let one moronic mentality spoil your day. The rest of us really care about you.

If somebody "attacked" me, first I would try to calm myself down because I can be pretty harsh too. But, just in case, I try to avoid topics that might "heat up" someone.

I do agree with what you are saying. I think respect is very important too. I also think that everyone has a right to their own opinion. But even then, it should be given in a respectful way. If someone has been disrespectful to me on here I would approach them either on the discussion or by PM and see if it can be taken care of that way. You can also use the ! to report the response as unappropriate.

It's natural to experience this especially in a forum. Good thing that most of the mylot people are kind and understanding and calm. But sometimes, some mylot people step beyond the line and become mean. The way to stop trouble is just ignore and don't let it upset us.

Oh, I know. There was an instance when I wrote a question, someone, without properly perceiving what I wrote, misunderstood wrote something like in their (from her words, I assumed, superior, at least she thinks so) culture I would have been deemed as an easy girl. I was kind of angry and outraged. This is not a thing you should tell to anyone on a site like this, or anyone at all, if they are not priding in sleeping with guys on a first date, and mine clearly wasn't that case... especially if you don't care to read the post properly... When I state opinions, and I don't agree with a poster, I usually write something like "sorry" or "no offence", but even if I don't, I don't say that people are idiots for having another opinion, because it's the way of life.

yeah there should be respect here. I have been rude once or twice but it was intended to be funny or so and I have told the person that i am gonna spit poison now and and i expect the person not to get angry or feel anything. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead..

@Sjvenden27: we're all people that make mistakes sometimes.And we can tell others that they make a mistake or misinterprete you or......or. There's absolutely NO need to attack others or putting someone else down. If this person was real rude to you I suggest you report him/her. It might be not the nicest thing to do but as you wrote already yourself: "mylot will become another site." Let's keep mylot clean!

I would definitely report it! I agree with you. We are all different, thus we have different opinions and that's ok. It's also ok to express those opinions/feelings but as you said, you do it with respect. You don't just outright attack anyone...EVER! You can agree to disagree and move on... **by the way, I am so sorry that someone would do that...it particularly makes me upset when they pick a venue like this to be that way.
